A great find: Pyrite in slate from Lehesten, Thuringia!
Size of the sphere 2cm, diameter of the hole 1mm - suitable for jewelry wire, not for leather bands and necklaces!
The historic slate mine in Lehesten in the Thuringian Forest is one of the oldest and largest open-cast roofing slate mines in Europe. Slate has been mined in Lehesten since the 13th century, split and processed into slate sheets, roof and wall coverings.
In modern stone healing, Pyrite in slate is considered the stone of openness. It helps us not to take ourselves so seriously and to laugh at ourselves from time to time. Negative thoughts can be let go of more easily.
Pyrite in slate is also known as Apache gold in reference to the localities where it is found in the USA. The white bands and areas are mostly quartz, occasionally also calcite.

Design your own gemstone jewelry: Ball of Pyrite drilled in slate, 20mm, 1mm hole
Hello! My name is Marco Schreier and I am the founder of the Mineralienhandlung GmbH of the same name. Creativity and stones have been a topic for me since I was a child, and they first shaped my free time and then my entire professional life.
As a child, this began playfully with collecting and crafting with stones I had found myself and with the first minerals that my grandfather brought me from the Alps. Later, a fascination for processing, sawing, grinding, designing and artistic work with gemstones emerged. With our Chili Creative ® brand, we managed to build up a range developed by experts from our wholesale business and our production sites in Asia.
Today, numerous professional jewelry designers, goldsmiths, jewelry makers, jewelers and creative people from the online world such as Etsy and Pinterest providers use the components of Chili Creative® in their projects. With our tools, stone components, bead strands, pearls and silver parts as well as high-quality stringing materials, you can create creative jewelry projects that are highly profitable for resale.
