Rainbow Pyrite Garnet The spectacular display of colors

The spectacular display of colors these specimens display can be formed by two different geological processes: the oxidation of pyrite causing ultra-thin layers of iron oxide to form on the surface

roughly 20 million years ago

Our specimens consist of fine crystals spread across a matrix in shades of both blue and green

Fluorite is one of the most variable of all crystalline minerals

Rainbow Pyrite Garnet The spectacular display of colorsThe famed fools gold, pyrite is an abundant sulfide mineral that despite some similarities can easily be distinguished from actual gold by its crystal form (typically cuboidal) and being much harder whereas gold is soft and malleable. Pyrite formations tend to be shiny and metallic, with particularly high shine or uniquely shaped pieces prized by collectors. Rainbow or peacock pyrite is a much rarer form of pyrite named for the unmistakable and
