Piritas de Navajún will be present this October at The Munich Show 2025. This is Europe’s most important mineral trade fair.

The show will take place in Munich from October 23 to 26, 2025. PIRITAS DE NAVAJÚN and its delegation will be located at Stand A6.500.

We will present a wide variety of our most outstanding pyrite specimens, directly from our mine in Navajún, La Rioja, Spain.

At our booth, visitors can admire and purchase an unparalleled selection of high-quality cubic pyrites, known for their natural luster and perfect geometry. In addition, we will exhibit twinned specimens, where two or more crystals interlock in a fascinating way, and matrix pieces that show the pyrite crystals in their host rock, preserving their original state and unique geological formation.

Among our most exciting new items, we will showcase spectacular pyrite cuboctahedrons—a rare and fascinating shape that combines the faces of a cube and an octahedron—presented in elegant transparent display cases. These authentic mineralogical gems are perfect for collectors and mineral lovers looking for a unique and unrivaled piece.

We invite all mineral enthusiasts and professionals in the industry to visit our stand to discover the beauty and uniqueness of Navajún pyrites.

We hope to see you at the Munich Show 2025!

A Treasure from La Rioja: The Navajún Pyrite

Posted on

Just 4 kilometers from the picturesque town of Navajún, in the heart of the Alcarama mountain range, a geological treasure that has conquered the world lies hidden. We are referring to the pyrite deposit known as “Ampliación a Victoria,” a place that, since its discovery, has redefined mineral collecting.

This deposit was found in the year 1965, and since then, it has been the source of pyrite specimens of exceptional quality and beauty. Over the decades, the Navajún Pyrite has managed to build an international reputation, entering the collecting market with great force. Its perfectly cubic crystals, with an unmistakable metallic luster, are increasingly appreciated and valued by experts and enthusiasts all over the planet.

Thanks to dedicated promotional work and the uniqueness of its minerals, the Navajún Pyrite has become a true benchmark within the field of Spanish mineralogy. Beyond its scientific and economic value, this mineral has transcended its origin to become a distinctive symbol of La Rioja, one of the most recognized and unique jewels that the autonomous community offers to the world.
