Pyrite,
commonly also known as "Fools Gold" because of its color and
shape, is popular for its crystal habbit, hardness, streak, luster and
brittleness. It is composed of iron disulphide having a pale
brass-yellow color. The name pyrite has been derived from the Greek
word, pyrites lithos, which mean 'stone which strikes fire,' in
allusion to the sparking produced when iron is struck by lump of
pyrite.|
