Those pyrites were exceptional. Pyrites are my favorite minerals. I cried as I watched the pyrites exposed in the matrix. What an awesome episode. Thank you for sharing this.

Just an outstanding production! What an excellent behind the scenes of these amazing mines. Thank you for giving this disabled rockhound a fun trip

[@lindasaav7364]

I have one of these Spanish pyrite specimens, just a small one but those small perfect cubes still get me! I never get over how mind blowing it is that nature can create such a perfect shape. And then for them to have kept their shape in pristine condition through the millions and millions of years is just insane! Thanks for a great episode!

[@mjay4700]

This was a great look into Spains rich mineral history. I never knew!

The pyrite was so beautiful I cried myself to sleep

[@jeffkuhn6003]

This was exactly what I was looking for to get my fix!

[@mikesnitro]

The wall of pyrite just blew my mind!

[@j.b.4340]

I’m blown away. I have pyrites in my collection, and they are blasé. This film puts them in a new light.

[@SimchaWaldman]

11:36 I shall steal this for myself! (and all the rest too.) 😍

[@dinaalmaz3345]

Top Video!

[@gonota72]

I would love a pyrite cube!!!

[@americanrebel413]

These are amazing thank you.

[@reginasmith5698]

Thank you for the insight into spain. the area that you were in is close to where my ancestors are from.

[@RedmanOutdoors366]

Amazing wow 😃👍⛏️

[@Onserio.]

Very cool

[@Bloomcycle]

Fluorite reminds me of the Borg cubes

[@fredhannum4015]

I have a piece that is only about one inch thick and about 5inches by 4inches wide,I don't know where it originated from but one side has small cubes, but on the opposite side, the matrix is dark,bright blue Lapis Lozuli, with the growth of the Pyrite showing as Gold veins, and that side is highly polished. The other Pyrite of note I have is a cluster of the largest Pyrite Dodecahedrons I have ever seen. ❤

[@yumnjame546]

It's even better when you realise that the owner of mine doesn't wants these to be used in manufacturing processes as the mineral is too perfect for it.

[@justmeonthebeach]

I like the foods in Spain 🥘🦐🐟🍖🍗🍛

[@grimreaper9049]

So similar to galena but galena is so brittle and clustered that it rarely occurs in perfect cubes

[@justmeonthebeach]

Galena dust is toxic..

[@adam7ramirezar]

How can I buy a small pyrite cube, from spain.

[@Timurv1234]

i mean it is horrible definitely, but I'm so interested what those natives were thinking when they first set their eyes on Barcelona!

[@justmeonthebeach]

As a teenager.. I was given a small pyrite crystal to give me super power.. just kidding 😅😂🤣. But seriously, the man told me that the pyrite would protect me.. At that time, I didn't even know the identity of the small shiny "fool's gold" rock that I got.. only that it was really kinda shiny for a small rock 🪨😄

[@DavidJames-dj3qs]

should take me one day

[@fredhannum4015]

He just reaches down to pluck a 2in X 3in perfect cube of Pyrite.

[@Shes.Precious]
