Description

Own an incredible specimen of Iron Pyrite - a stunning piece for the collector or anyone who enjoys the beauty of this stone.


In Greek, Pyrite means "stone which strikes fire." Pyrite is called Fools Gold because many miners thought they'd found gold, only to discover they'd found Pyrite.


Pyrite is found many places. Some of the best specimens come from Gilman, CO., Colorado, and the Huanzala region of Peru.


Pyrite is used today as a source of sulfur, and in the manufacture of sulfuric acid.
