Pyrite Druze Cocada Cluster - Peru

Among the crystals, jewelry, and ritual goods on 14th Street is this crystal cluster: Pyrite Druze Cocada Cluster - Peru (listed at 420–450 grams, shop SKU VPC26).

Pyrite, sometimes called fool's gold, is iron sulfide and often forms sharp cubes or glittering clusters. Peru is a well-known source. In crystal traditions, pyrite is associated with vitality and protection. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim. A cluster is a group of crystals that grew together; no two have the same arrangement of points.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight or grade is listed. The listing may use a reference or stock image; each natural piece varies. Sold as a single piece.
