Pyrite grows as cubes, pyritohedra and octahedra with a brassy metallic lustre; Chinese pyrite is known for sharp, mirror-faced crystals.

The piece is cabinet in size, 8.8 × 6.5 × 3.5 cm (3.46 × 2.56 × 1.38 in) and 207 g (7.3 oz). The specimen is otherwise sold in the condition shown.

Every specimen here is photographed and catalogued individually before listing.
