The mineral Pyrite, also known as "fool's gold," is an iron sulfide celebrated for its striking metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue, which gives it a resemblance to gold and its iconic nickname. Pyrite typically forms in cubic crystals, with rarer occurrences of cubo-octahedral and pyritohedral shapes. Some exceptional specimens with beveled edges originate from Navajún, Spain.
Since the 1980s, Pyrites from Navajún have become world-renowned for their remarkable quality and perfection. This unique locality has been a cornerstone of international mineral fairs, attracting collectors, mineralogists, and enthusiasts from across the globe. Over the years, these exceptional pyrite specimens have solidified their reputation in the international collecting market, becoming highly sought after and a symbol of Spanish mineralogy, particularly in La Rioja.

Gabbro is a phaneritic (coarse-grained), mafic intrusive igneous rock formed from the slow cooling of magnesium-rich and iron-rich magma into a holocrystalline mass deep beneath the Earth's surface.
Slow-cooling, coarse-grained gabbro is chemically equivalent to rapid-cooling, fine-grained basalt. Much of the Earth's oceanic crust is made of gabbro, formed at mid-ocean ridges. Gabbro is also found as plutons associated with continental volcanism. By rough analogy, gabbro is to basalt as granite is to rhyolite.
These superb patterned and grained specimen came from central Madagascar. The polishing work is made by local people.

Sediments continue to settle on the nodule, compacting it under their weight which will flatten it and expel water, while inside micro-cracks begin to form, amplified by tectonic movements. It is in these shrinkage slots that over time dissolved minerals will crystallize.
