Pyrite is used to make jewelry, semiconductors, and cathodes for lithium ion batteries. It has been suggested as material for photovoltaic solar panels, and was used in radios prior to the vacuum tube (it is still used in crystal radios as a mineral detector). In the past, it was used to manufacture iron sulfate and sufuric acid, and is now used commercially to produce sulfure dioxide, commonly used in the paper industry.
