Collection: PYRITE

Pyrite is a metallic-looking mineral made of iron sulfide, famous for its bright brass-yellow color and cubic crystal formations that often resemble gold, earning it the nickname “fool’s gold.” It forms in a variety of geological environments, including sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks, typically where iron and sulfur are present and combine under low to moderate temperatures. Historically, pyrite has been used for ornamentation, jewelry, and even early fire-starting tools due to its ability to produce sparks when struck against steel.
