The difference between the iron in magnetite and hematite is the charge. Hematite has all 3+ iron ( the iron when make the mineral loses 3 electrons) and magnetite has some 2+ iron (it only loses 2 electrons).
Pyrite has a cubic crystal structure with metallic luster and a brassy yellow color, while gypsum has a monoclinic crystal structure with a pearly luster and colorless to white appearance. By examining the crystal structure under a microscope and observing the physical properties such as color and luster, one can distinguish between pyrite and gypsum crystals.

The difference between the two seismograph readings could tell you where the epicenter is located.
Iron Oxide. Pyrite is known also as "Fool's Gold"
Prospectors used the physical property of density to differentiate between iron pyrite and gold. Gold is denser than iron pyrite, so prospectors could use the weight of a sample to determine whether it was more likely to be gold or iron pyrite.
Hematite is typically a dark gray to black mineral with a reddish streak, while galena is a silvery-gray mineral with a cubic crystal structure. One way to differentiate between them is by performing a streak test: hematite will leave a reddish-brown streak, while galena will leave a gray streak. Additionally, galena is heavier than hematite and has a metallic luster.
The hardness of it. Gold is harder than pyrite.
To tell the difference between pyrite and real gold, you can check the color and shape of the ore. Gold and pyrite have a yellowish color but pyrite has a pale and brassy color compared to gold. Pyrites are shaped more like crystals while gold tends to form as a nugget. Another difference between the two is that gold can be scratched with a pocketknife while pyrite cannot be scratched. You also can use the malleability and odor tests.
