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'
