Marcasite on dark matrix - Burgberg, Allgäu, Germany

This impressive piece comes from the classic Burgberg discovery region in the Allgäu and shows an almost perfectly formed spherical marcasite on contrasting, dark matrix. The deposit is known for its beautifully formed, shiny metallic marcasite crystals - this specimen is a particularly successful example.

Crystal structure 

The marcasite crystallized in a striking, radial form, which gives the piece a harmonious and almost symmetrical appearance. The fine crystals shimmer in metallic silver to bronze and catch the light in a fascinating way.

Play of colors and contrasts

The contrast between the bright, shiny marcasite and the dark matrix on which it rests is particularly striking. This combination gives the piece a strong visual presence.

A classic from the Allgäu region

Minerals from Burgberg are highly prized by collectors, and this specimen is a particularly aesthetic example. Whether as an addition to a themed collection or as an individual piece with charisma - this specimen impresses with its shape, color and origin.
