Pyrite, Dogtooth Calcite Cluster Specimen | 2534

Pyrite, also known as "Fool's Gold," is best known for its metallic luster and striking resemblance to real gold.

Pyrite is created through hydrothermal processes, where iron and sulfur-rich fluids cool and precipitate to form its characteristic cubic crystals. Pyrite also forms in sedimentary environments when organic material reacts with sulfate under low-oxygen conditions.

Pyrite's structure is cubic and crystalline, often exhibiting well-defined geometric shapes.

Pyrite is commonly found in regions rich in sulfide deposits, including Spain, Italy, and the United States.

Dogtooth Calcite, also known as "Dogtooth Spar" or "Tooth Calcite," is a variety of calcite characterized by sharp, scalenohedral crystal formations that resemble canine teeth. These dramatic crystals are often translucent and range in color from white to amber or gray.

It is associated with the zodiac signs Cancer and Pisces, and connects to the Solar Plexus Chakra, enhancing confidence and energy flow.

Dogtooth Calcite forms in limestone caves and hydrothermal veins as calcium-rich water deposits calcite crystals, and it is commonly found in Mexico, the United States, Romania, and China.
