Fool's gold is the mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite. Pyrite is sometimes called Fools Gold because of its similarity in color and shape to Gold. The last thing you want is to be considered a fool the next time you go gold-panning. Pyrite is the most common of the sulfide minerals which is an iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS2. Sometimes real gold is embedded in pyrite formations but this mineral is usually found associated with other sulfides or oxides in quartz veins, sedimentary rock, and metamorphic rock, as well as in coal beds and as a replacement mineral in fossils.
