Peru

In May 2024, I traveled to Peru to meet local companies and traders specializing in mineral trading. I was particularly interested in the diverse forms of pyrite, as it is my favorite stone.

During my trip, I visited several dealers offering an impressive selection of pyrite in various formations and sizes. Pyrite occurs in a variety of shapes, including cubes, dodecahedrons, and impressive combinations with other minerals such as quartz. These unique combinations, in which pyrite crystals grow alongside transparent quartz crystals, create fascinating contrasts and are true natural wonders.

Some dealers invited me to visit their workshops, where I was able to experience the stoneworking process firsthand. These personal encounters and insights into the craft made my trip particularly valuable. It was fascinating to see how much care and passion goes into creating the pyrite pieces.

After my return, I added the pyrite spheres carefully selected in Peru to my shop. These unique stones are now available to my customers who appreciate the beauty and quality of these special minerals.
