✨ Fact & Fun Fact:
Pyrite is an iron sulfide mineral with the chemical formula FeS₂. Its metallic golden appearance earned it the famous nickname “Fool’s Gold,” as it was historically mistaken for real gold. Pyrite can naturally form remarkably precise cubes, octahedrons, and other geometric crystals. Its name comes from the Greek pyr, meaning “fire,” because striking pyrite against steel can produce sparks. Important sources include Spain, Peru, Italy, China, and the USA.
