This 2-inch polished pyrite sphere has a mirror-bright metallic finish and a deep, open pocket lined with angular crystals. The contrast between the smooth surface and the exposed crystal faces gives this fool’s gold specimen two distinct looks as you turn it. The polished areas reflect light in broad flashes, while the crystals inside the pocket catch it in smaller, sharper glints.
At 8.4 oz, the sphere has a satisfying weight for its size. It’s compact enough for a bookshelf, desk, or mineral cabinet. Display the open pocket facing forward to show off the crystal faces, or turn the sphere to highlight the polished side and its scattered natural pits.
