Pyrite ball in spinning brass stand.
PUMI1462-11
Pyrite: a naturally golden stone, so golden that the first prospectors of this metal literally went mad with joy at the thought of their new found fortune. But this is not gold, it is an impressive mineral with a highly contemporary look and perfectly geometric crystals. This piece comes from Peru, where a craftman managed to hand-polish a ball in this stone, that is not smooth at all!
