Description
Basalt with Pyrite semi polished points sold by the kilogram. These pieces feature a polished tip that highlights the dark volcanic basalt with sparkling pyrite inclusions, while the base remains raw to preserve its natural formation. Each piece is unique in color and shape, making them ideal for collectors, decoration, and wholesale resale. Photos show the quality and approximate size of the pieces.
Formation
Basalt is a fine-grained volcanic igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of lava at the Earth’s surface. Pyrite (FeS₂) crystals form within cavities or along veins during the rock’s cooling process, creating metallic reflections. Semi polished points are crafted by polishing the tip to enhance the visual contrast between the dark basalt and the sparkling pyrite, while leaving the base natural.
Function
Excellent for wholesale supply, mineral collections, decorative arrangements, and retail resale. The contrast between polished basalt and pyrite inclusions makes it appealing for interior displays and artistic projects.
Care
Clean gently with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the polished tip. Store carefully to protect both the polished surface and natural base from scratches or impacts.
