This piece weighs 5.5 kg, I used a hammer drill and generator to get
the crystals out of an huge block of copper ore 2x1 meter big. After
2 hours of work I got it...

Termites Dream

The pit was always open for the public, no signs no entry, no fence.
and it was many years back.
OK it is a long trip from Paphos as you drive 4 hours one way. Further
it had to be in dry conditions in Summer otherwise you cannot enter.
Also I recommend to wear protective clothes and a mask as there is
sulfur-containing air when is getting hot. Adventure...!! but I liked it a lot.

I remember my father bringing a large piece home when we lived in Nicosia in the late 50's (he was in the Army and stationed here) and he had myself and my brother and sister believing it was gold! I have found crystals fascinating ever since.

Max, this is really fantastic!

Specially for your son.... rather large Pyrite crystals.

I personally don't believe in something like that but alternative practitioner do:


"Pyrite Crystal Healing & Properties Information
For what and How Does One Use it?
Pyrite is a great mineral for treating physical burnout. It is recommended that a piece be placed on the solar plexus to achieve maximum energizing results. As Pyrite is largely iron and gold in color, it grounds the gold ray into the physical body. You may also point other higher vibrational crystals such as Citrine and Topaz towards/touching the Pyrite and it will ground those crystals’ gold ray energies into the physical body as well! Pyrite aids digestion, treats blood disorders and relieves depression. It has regenerative powers on physical and emotional levels."

I rather curious about the nature of these Pyrites cubes from the Navajun, La Rioja area. Unlike other crystals these crystals are not tightly ..
