Well pretty much like gold. But there are r some chunks of gray
Pyrite (A.K.A. Fool's gold) isn't an element, its formula is FeS2 (iron (II) disulfide) Pyrite is classed as a mineral.
It smells like Iron Disulphide or FeS2....
No. Despite its metallic luster, pyrite is actually a sulfide mineral.
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. From what I have seen, if I am into Iron Pyrite, the pieces are usually consistant in size.
Pyrite is an iron sulfide mineral, while galena is a lead sulfide mineral. Both minerals are classified as sulfide minerals, which are metallic in nature due to the presence of metallic elements like iron in pyrite and lead in galena.
it looks likes gold but it is not.it is known as the fool's gold.pyrite is harder than gold but gold is heavier than pyrite
Well pretty much like gold. But there are r some chunks of gray
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
pyrite
Definitely pyrite for one
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.
A pyrite mineral feels pricky, it is also rather shiny, not dull.
Pyrite is often called "fool's gold," because it has a somewhat gold-like appearance.
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.
Silver pyrite is not a naturally occurring mineral. Pyrite itself is often referred to as "fool's gold" due to its metallic luster and brassy color, but it does not contain silver. Silver minerals like acanthite or native silver can be found in nature, but they are different from pyrite.
Pyrites are a class of minerals. Some people call them "fool's gold" because they sometimes look similar to gold, but they are not gold. Pyrite crystals are not transparent. They are opaque.
