Display, Pairing & Care

Set this pyrite on a bookshelf, altar, or desk tray. For a curated arrangement, pair the deep metallic sheen with the dark gloss of Hematite from the Hematite collection; add a bright accent using Citrine within the Citrine archive, or clarity from Crystal Quartz in our Crystal Quartz range. Dust gently with a soft cloth and avoid water immersion or harsh cleaners to preserve the luster of your Pyrite specimen.
