I am definitely biased towards the Pyrite cubes from Spain, but these cubes from Peru give them a run for their money with their mirror-like gold metallic luster and their aggregates of sharp intersecting cubes. This particular Pyrite cluster also hosts a few lustrous, transparent and contrasting Quartz needles adding to the luster, contrast and “bling.” A very showy piece in excellent condition.
