Description
Vintage Marcasite Brooch. Pre owned in good condition.
Marcasite jewellery is made using cut and polished pieces of pyrite (fool’s gold) as gemstone, and not, as the name suggests, from marcasite.
Both pyrite and marcasite are chemically iron sulfide, but differ in their crystal structures, giving them different physical properties.
How to clean your Marcasite Jewellery
- In a bowl put some liquid soap and mix it in luke warm water.
- Let it be in the bowl for approximately 10 minutes.
- With a soft toothbrush, gently clean.
- After cleaning the jewelry with the brush, rinse it under cold water
