Pyrite, iron sulfide is a common mineral in many rocks. Pyrite is the most important sulfur-containing mineral.
An antonym for pyrite could be "gold," as pyrite is often referred to as "fool's gold" due to its resemblance to real gold.
The weight of pyrite varies depending on the size of the specimen. On average, the density of pyrite is around 5 g/cm3, which means a cubic centimeter of pyrite would weigh around 5 grams.
No, gold is not harder than pyrite. Pyrite has a hardness of 6-6.5 on the Mohs scale, while gold has a hardness of 2.5-3. This means that pyrite is harder than gold.
It's theoretically possible, since pyrite (often called "fool's gold, because it looks so similar to the real thing) can form in all kinds of environments. That is probably why so many prospectors were fooled over the years: they went where they thought gold would be found, but instead, the mineral they encountered was pyrite.
No, iron pyrite, also known as fool's gold, is not magnetic.
Uranium and Pyrite
Yes the sulphur in the pyrite makes sulphuric acid.
Pyrite is the mineral whereas a pyrite 'cube' happens to be the habit in which the mineral has crystallised
pyrite is made of FeS2
What cleavage does pyrite have
I is used to create sulfur dioxide to make paper.
No, Pyrite is iron and sulfur
the hardness of pyrite is 6.5
The diaphaneity of pyrite is opaque.
the hardness of pyrite is 6.5
Pyrite has the property fracture. - Raymond Cheung
Definitely pyrite for one
