Pyrite is an iron sulfide mineral known for its metallic luster and brassy golden color, often referred to as “fool’s gold.” In rough form, it appears as irregular chunks with a naturally textured surface and sparkling crystalline faces.
Composed of iron sulfide (FeS₂), it has a hardness of 6–6.5 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for decorative and display use. It is commonly sourced from regions such as Peru, Spain, and India.
Each piece shows natural variations in shape, crystal formation, and surface texture, making every specimen unique.
