Geology & Origin

Pyrite (FeS₂) is one of the most common sulfide minerals and forms under a wide range of geological conditions. The deposits of Asturias have long been known for producing high quality Pyrite specimens, often distinguished by their well-formed crystals and intense metallic luster. Owing to its striking cubic crystal forms and historical importance as an ore mineral, Pyrite remains one of the most recognized and widely collected minerals in the world.
