This piece shows the amazing and rare twinnng in Pyrite known as “Iron Cross Twin”.
“Iron Cross Twins” are twinned crystals exhibiting the forms of two pentagonal dodecahedra (also known as Pyritohedra). These Twins display edges crossing at 90 degrees, and in an idealized/model Twin, these edges form a cross. In nature, the edges that form the cross are sometimes not continuous or are not equal to one another, so a Pyrite crystal that is twinned according to “Iron-Cross law” may or may not exhibit an actual cross shape, but in any event the relationship of the crystals exhibits the “crossed symmetry”.
The small Golden iron cross pyrites are rare specimens and difficult to find in nature, because it is common for this class of pyrites to be replaced by Goethite on their surface.
