12PK Raw Pyrite Mineral Specimens, 1" - Geologist Selected Samples - Eisco Labs

• PYRITE | Pyrite forms as hot water flows through fractures in subsurface rock. This deposition method allows pyrite to replace other minerals or fossils through pyritization. Also known as Fool's Gold, this brassy, metallic mineral is often mistaken for gold
• GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | Excellent for exercises in identification and pyritization. This set of twelve samples is excellent for group study and examination
• GEOLOGIST SELECTED | Each specimen is selected and hand processed by an actual geologist, ensuring each sample exhibits defining features
• LOCALLY PROCESSED | Our rock and mineral samples are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and are processed in Victor, NY
• INDIVIDUALLY PACKAGED & LABELED | Each specimen sample is packaged in a transparent bag, and is labeled & barcoded for easy identification

Raw Pyrite Specimen
