Fool's gold, or pyrite, has been known since ancient times, with its first recorded mention dating back to the Roman era around 100 AD. However, significant discoveries of pyrite as a source of sulfur and as an indicator of gold deposits occurred during the California Gold Rush in the mid-19th century. Its deceptive resemblance to gold led to its nickname, "fool's gold."
