Description

"Navajún" pyrites are pyrites that are extracted from a quarry that is not exploited for the industry, but is used to satisfy mineral collectors and decoration, having given the world of mineralogy the best pyrite crystals cubic of the world and the largest. The site is located in the Sierra de Alcarama, in the region of Cervera, in La Rioja, Spain; and it was discovered in the 60s, in an area of marls that covered these cubic pyrite crystals, although gypsum crystals, chlorite and manganese minerals have also been found on the site. The piece in question is spectacular and shows perfect cubic pyrite crystals in a matrix of marls worthy of any collector.
