Pyrite ranges in color from dull and brassy to shiny yellow-gold.
Pyrite typically appears as a brassy yellow color, often with a metallic sheen. It may also have hints of gold, silver, and grey tones, depending on impurities present in the mineral.
pyrite is made of FeS2
Silver pyrite is not a naturally occurring mineral. Pyrite itself is often referred to as "fool's gold" due to its metallic luster and brassy color, but it does not contain silver. Silver minerals like acanthite or native silver can be found in nature, but they are different from pyrite.
iron and sulfur Pyrite is iron sulfide, FeS2.
Pyrite is sometimes called fool's gold because of its metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue, which can resemble real gold to the untrained eye. However, pyrite is a different mineral with a lower value and hardness compared to gold.
no pyrite doesn't come in flakes
Pyrite typically appears as a brassy yellow color, often with a metallic sheen. It may also have hints of gold, silver, and grey tones, depending on impurities present in the mineral.
Because of the pressure and time used to create natural pyrite, more crystals develop, giving it that shiny, crystalline look, whereas man made is created in such a short amount of time that there isn't a lot of gold, and once it dries, many colors show after rust appears on the pyrite.
