Spain is a country that is well known for its cubic Pyrite specimens. Although the most famous ones are those found at Navajun the whole region is full of small localities where one can also find crystals of Pyrite like Valdeperillos.

At the Ambasaguas mine, famous for its pentagonododecahedral pyrites, from time to time they find a curious form of Pyrite in which hundreds of small crystals are grouped together in the form of a pine cone, all bound together by very strong marl. Over the years we have checked that these specimens are solid and stable, as the marl does not seem to alter. An unusual and aesthetic Spanish find.
