Iron Disulfide: FeS₂
Pyrite is an iron sulphide mineral, the mineral behind the term “Fool's Gold,” so named for its convincing metallic lustre. The gold colour is a direct product of its chemistry: iron and sulphur atoms in a cubic crystal structure that reflects light with unusual brilliance. Unlike many metallic-looking minerals, pyrite is relatively hard and forms naturally in perfect cubic, octahedral, and pyritohedral crystals. The material in the collection is shaped and polished from Spanish and Peruvian deposits.
