Kit of 5 Natural Turquoise Nuggets with Pyrite from Arizona

This listing comprises a set of five unrefined, naturally occurring turquoise nuggets, some with pyrite. I spent a lot of time in the early 2000s in the Arizona desert with friends, looking for rocks and minerals. My friend Russell found these Turquoise nuggets in and near the side of a riverbank. They are unique, as many of them have pyrite cubes in them. They're completely natural and have not been stabilized. They’re a little chalky – there’s not much silica in the nuggets.

Turquoise has been used in jewelry and decorative objects for thousands of years, and is highly valued for its metaphysical properties. It is known as a stone of protection, strength, and wisdom, and is believed to help with communication, emotional balance, and spiritual attunement. Turquoise is composed of copper aluminum phosphate, and is formed in arid regions where copper is abundant.

Pyrite, also known as fool's gold, is a metallic mineral that is highly reflective and has been used for centuries for its spiritual and metaphysical properties. Pyrite is said to be a stone of abundance, manifestation, and vitality, and is believed to help with confidence, focus, and creativity. It is composed of iron sulfide, and is formed in sedimentary rocks and hydrothermal veins.

The turquoise nuggets with pyrite in this collection have a unique composition and crystal structure that make them especially powerful for spiritual and metaphysical purposes. The turquoise is a pale blue-green color, and the pyrite adds a touch of warmth to each stone.
