Chalcopyrite Sphere 5.36"

Few minerals make an impression quite like Chalcopyrite, and at 5.36 inches in diameter and 13.02 pounds, this sphere makes that impression the moment you pick it up. The weight is the first thing you notice — dense and substantial in a way that feels almost surprising for its size. This is not a lightweight decorative piece. It has presence, gravity, and a solidity that speaks to the remarkable density of the material itself. The surface is a deep, polished black shot through with rich veins and flashes of metallic gold that catch the light with a near-mirror brilliance. Turn it slowly and the gold shifts — bright and bold from one angle, deep and warm from another. The contrast between the dark matrix and the metallic gold is striking, giving this sphere the look of something forged rather than found in nature. Round acrylic stand included.
