Pyrite with Black Magnetite Tumbled Stone - 15-35 mm

Pyrite with Black Magnetite Tumbled Stone, a smooth polished piece combining the warm metallic gold of pyrite with dark black magnetite. Each stone is tumbled to a rounded shape and a polish that brings out the metallic shimmer against the dark mineral. It has a solid, weighty feel in the hand.

This combination is traditionally associated with grounding, protection and structural stability, and is commonly used as a steadying, confidence-building stone. People often keep it on a desk, hold it for a sense of solid support, or add it to grids and pouches. The gold-and-black metallic look makes it visually striking.

Each Pyrite with Black Magnetite Tumbled Stone is natural, so the balance of gold and black metallic content varies from one piece to the next.

Geological Information
Pyrite with Black Magnetite is a natural combination of iron sulphide, pyrite, and iron oxide, magnetite, formed together in hydrothermal ore deposits, with the pyrite at roughly Mohs 6 to 6.5. The gold metallic pyrite set within a black magnetite matrix gives a striking visual contrast, and both are iron-bearing minerals that formed in overlapping geological environments. The magnetite component is magnetic, so pieces may attract small iron particles. Pyrite has been used since antiquity as a fire-starting material, its name taken from the Greek pyr, meaning fire, while magnetite has long been significant as a compass mineral, so the combination carries both traditions. It is found mainly in Peru, with further material from Spain and the USA.

AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.

Care Note
Pyrite is sensitive to moisture and can tarnish or break down over time if it gets wet, so keep this stone dry and store it away from humidity. The magnetite content is naturally magnetic and may attract small iron particles.
