Since it's assembled from natural pyrite nuggets, the exact shape, size, and placement of the stones on your tree will vary a little from the photo. Care & cleansing Keep this piece dry at all times. Pyrite is an iron sulfide, and moisture — even light humidity over time — can cause it to oxidize, tarnish, or develop a dull coating, so please skip water cleansing or rinsing entirely. Dust the nuggets and wire branches gently with a soft, dry brush or cloth, and store or display it somewhere dry, away from bathrooms, humidifiers, or direct outdoor exposure.
