Pyrite Pillars 2-5"

These Pyrite Pillars are between 2"-3". Pyrite occurs almost exclusively in cubic form and these pillars have smooth sides and have the traditional brass-yellow color and metallic luster pyrite is known for. There are lovely cavers showing the interesting interior crystal system. 

The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, also known as fool's gold, is an iron sulfide. Pyrite is considered the most common of the sulfide minerals and is rated between 6 and 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. Pyrite's metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool's gold. Metaphysically Pyrite is believed to encourage self-recognition, as well as reveal secrets and memories.
