Pyrite (a.k.a. Fool's Gold) |
|
A polymorph of marcasite, it is the one crystal that is most commonly mistaken for gold. While the color may look very similar, Pyrite is actually much lighter and harder than real gold. Unlike real gold, Pyrite cannot be scratched with a fingernail and is quite hard. Pyrite is derived from the Greek word "Pyr" (fire) because of the sparks that result when it is struck against steel. Because of this, Pyrite was commonly used in early firearms! An extremely common crystal, Pyrite is found in Illinois, Missouri, Peru, Germany, Russia, Spain and South America. |
