A choice selection of hand-selected material, individually polished into 90% pure golden Pyrite with black Basalt patterns. This is a very desirable material, and it was rare. We had one batch almost 25 years ago. Then nothing came out until our Zimbabwe lapidary specialist went to the Iron Duke Mine when it reopened, and we managed to find one vein with material hard enough and good enough to polish, with the black Basalt in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT DESCRIPTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePharaoh Stone is a rare mix of golden Pyrite and black Basalt from the old Iron Duke Mine in Zimbabwe.
