Is pyrite a metal type?
No. Despite its metallic luster, pyrite is actually a sulfide mineral.
Does fools gold have a smell?

What metallic rock do pyrite and galena have?
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.
What metal is obtained from the ore pyrite?
Well, it is an ore of sulphur and definetly not of gold, as you can buy pyrite at quite a low cost, therefore making it quite poplular for rock collectors. another reason it is popular is because of its interesting crystals and the fact that is looks like gold and people can often mistake it for it (unless you see the price!) hence the name 'fools gold'
