== == Pyrite is iron sulfide, a mineral composed of sulfur and iron. It's also known as "Fools'Gold" because of its shiny yellowish metallic luster. Pyrite can be found in sedimentary, magmatic, and metamorphic rock deposits, and also in hydrothermal vents, wherever there is sulfur and iron.
Pyrite is sometimes an ore of gold and copper. It is also an ore of sulfur, which is used in the production of tires, explosives, disinfectants, medicines, ink, wood preservatives, dyes, matches, and sulfuric acid. Some collector specimens can be quite valuable as well. The streak of pyrite is greenish-black. Pyrite is in the cubic/isometric crystal system where three axes running through the center of the crystal are of equal length and form an angle of 90 degrees at intersection.
