Natural cubic pyrite in cage
PUMI1851-5
A cube in a cube. A contemporary presentation for a natural geometric curiosity. Pyrite or fool's gold has more than ever its place in a cabinet of curiosity. Indeed, not only does this metal imitate the color of gold but its perfect geometric shape is natural. It is found in a mine in Spain in Rioja, where these nested cubes easily detach from the Marne matrixe where they grew 130 million years ago. Display in an iron cage.
