Sometimes called fools gold?

How is fools gold like and different than gold?
Pyrite and gold are similar in color, and both are relatively heavy when compared to other minerals and rock. Pyrite fractures when hit with a hammer. Gold, however, is malleable. Pyrite leaves a brownish-black streak on a streak plate. Gold leaves a gold-colored streak. Gold is nearly 4 times as heavy as pyrite. Gold is much softer than pyrite on the Mohs hardness scale.

If the volume of the sample of pyrite equals the volume of the sample of gold how many?
If the volumes of the samples of pyrite and gold are equal, you cannot directly determine the number of samples without knowing the specific mass or density of each material. Pyrite has a lower density (about 5 g/cm³) compared to gold (about 19.3 g/cm³), meaning that for the same volume, a sample of gold would weigh significantly more than a sample of pyrite. Therefore, while the volumes may be equal, the mass of gold will be greater than that of pyrite.
