If you mean pyrite or gold- gold is soft- pyrite is brittle. Gold melts easily- pyrite does not. Acid dissolves pyrite, but not gold. Finally- you may have heard "All that glitters is not gold". It SHOULD be "NOTHING that glitters is gold." Natural gold may be shiny, but does not glitter- like pyrites will.
Pyrite, iron sulfide is a common mineral in many rocks. Pyrite is the most important sulfur-containing mineral.
No. Despite its metallic luster, pyrite is actually a sulfide mineral.

"Fool's Gold" or PYRITE
Pyrite (A.K.A. Fool's gold) isn't an element, its formula is FeS2 (iron (II) disulfide) Pyrite is classed as a mineral.
No. Pyrite is a compound composed of iron (a metal) and sulfur (a nonmetal).
Pyrite is the mineral whereas a pyrite 'cube' happens to be the habit in which the mineral has crystallised
It is actually a mineral.
Iron Pyrite - which is a sulphide mineral - FeS2.
Pyrite, iron sulfide is a common mineral in many rocks. Pyrite is the most important sulfur-containing mineral.
Pyrite is a mineral that can form crystals.
The characteristic property of the mineral pyrite is sand it is very shiny
Olivine is a silicate mineral. Diamond is an elemental mineral. Pyrite is a sulfide mineral. Malachite is a carbonate mineral.
A pyrite mineral feels pricky, it is also rather shiny, not dull.
Pyrite is a mineral with the composition FeS2. To be a mineral, it must be naturally occurring.
Pyrite is actually a mineral. It is often found within metamorphic and sedimentary rocks though.
