iron pyrite
Iron pyrite, also known as fool's gold, is an iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS2. It is a common sulfide mineral, recognized for its brass-yellow color that emits a strong metallic luster. Despite its nickname, its characteristics are vastly different from actual gold. Its name comes from the Greek word for fire, as it emits sparks when struck against metal or stone. It is often found in quartz veins and is sometimes a by-product of the mining of other minerals and fossils.
