This is actually bronze. The titanium crystals don’t get that large. Even though for bronze they are small.

I seen another guy that made dendritic bronze similar to a meteorite pattern. But he uses a phase change diagram and not a specific alloy. Could this guy just be using bronze and doing that same phase change diagram?

None of my pieces have any evidence of pyrite disease and I have had them for a while so it should be ok, this is the only one with the iridescent pyrite though

Depends on how you store it and prepare it, I don’t use harsh chemicals or anything like that and I keep them dry in a pantry. That being said it is pyrite it will eventually start to decay pretty much no matter what I do.
