Fools gold is known as iron pyrite
There isn't much for examples of fools gold in everyday items that you have in your house. About the only thing i can think of besides looking at a piece of fools gold in pictures on the internet or at a local rock shop or museum would be to crumple some tinfoil up and color it a dark gold. Where you see the small, almost square patterns in the tinfoil is a bit like fools gold. Iron Pyrite, this minerals metalic luster and pale brass-yellow hue have earned it the the nickname "fools gold" because of its resemblance to gold.
Gold is a heavy ductile metal and gold is an Element. Fools gold is actually Iron Pyrite and is brittle and light compared to gold. Gold has a specific gravity around 19 while fools gold (iron pyrite) has a specific gravity of 4.95 to 5.10. Fools gold is harder than gold. The hardness of Fools gold is 6 to 6.5 while Gold is softer and has a hardness of 2.5 on the Moh's scale of hardness. When hammered gold will flatten while other yellow minerals break Fools Gold (Iron Pyrite) is a sulfide of iron,with a metallic appearance and occurs either as distinct cubical crystals or in massive crystalline forms.Pyrite is slightly harder than steel and cannot be scratched with a knife while gold is much softer than steel and can easily be scratched with a knife. Pyrite emits sulfur when heated...gold does not. There are many differences between Fools Gold and Gold, that is why "fools gold" got its name.
fools gold
No. It is iron pyrite and much more minerals. However, the two are sometimes found together, and some samples of fools' gold may contain trace amounts of real gold, but only a tiny spec.
if it is real gold then it will have a centimental value but if it is fools gold then it is not worth much at all.
