Fine, needle-like pyrite crystals radiate outward from the center in a glittering golden starburst, spreading across the flat disc and fading into a shimmering, sandy-textured edge. It's one of nature's most unusual formations and a true collector's piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne of a kind — you will receive the exact pyrite sun shown in the photos.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbout Pyrite Suns:\u003c\/em\u003e Pyrite suns formed about 300 million years ago when pyrite crystallized in thin seams between layers of shale deep in coal beds. Squeezed into such a narrow space, the crystals grew outward in a flat, radiating pattern instead of their usual cubes. They're found almost exclusively in the coal mines around Sparta, Illinois — and since those mines have closed, these flat golden \"suns\" are becoming harder to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMetaphysical Meaning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePyrite is the classic stone of abundance and protection, and its sun shape amplifies its bright, solar energy.
