About it

A specimen of pyrite, scanned and drawn with splats. Pyrite is iron sulfide; its brassy shine fooled many prospectors, so it is called fool's gold. Its crystals often grow as little cubes, with faces as flat as if they had been cut.

Tap it and it turns half way round to show its other side, so the light runs across its faces, then turns back.
