Pyrite, also known as “fool’s gold,” is a mineral that is commonly found in sedimentary rocks, coal beds, and even in some hydrothermal veins. It is made up of iron and sulfur, and its metallic luster and brassy yellow color often make it mistaken for gold by amateur prospectors.

Pyrite has been used for centuries in jewelry, and was even used as a source of ignition in firearms before the development of modern gunpowder. It has also been used in the production of sulfuric acid, and as a source of iron in the manufacture of steel.
