This piece was painstakingly worked to remove the surrounding rock, revealing the striking geometric perfection within.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this specimen so special is its naturally occurring crystal faces — composed of a striking arrangement of \u003cstrong\u003ehexagons and squares\u003c\/strong\u003e, a formation that is exceptionally rare in nature. No two pyritohedrons are alike, and specimens of this quality and clarity are seldom found.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note: this specimen has \u003cstrong\u003eminor natural damage in the centre\u003c\/strong\u003e, where that portion of the crystal was exposed to the waves of the ocean over time.
