It is because homemade pyrite cools within a few second, not giving it enough time to for crystals, unlike natural pyrite, which had years to cool underground giving it enough time to form crystals

Definitely pyrite for one
1. If it looks like gold in bright sunlight, it will look shinny and like gold out of direct sunlight. Iron pyrite will not shine unless under direct sunlight.2. If you can put a knife blade on it and it bends, it is probably gold. Iron Pyrite will break.3. A pin will stick in gold, Iron Pryite will break.4. Some Iron Pyrite is magnetic.5.

Pyrite is often called "fool's gold," because it has a somewhat gold-like appearance.
A pyrite mineral feels pricky, it is also rather shiny, not dull.
Because of the pressure and time used to create natural pyrite, more crystals develop, giving it that shiny, crystalline look, whereas man made is created in such a short amount of time that there isn't a lot of gold, and once it dries, many colors show after rust appears on the pyrite.
Marcasite jewelry is an inexpensive type of jewelry that is mainly made of silver, and made to look like gold. Marcasite also has some pyrite in it, but the silver is used on top of the pyrite to prevent the jewelry from being brittle.
