About Pyrite
Pyrite, often referred to as "fool's gold" due to its striking resemblance to real gold, is a popular mineral among collectors. It commonly forms in cubic crystals, though it can also manifest in octahedral and pyritohedral forms. Well-formed cubic pyrite crystals are particularly prized by collectors for their geometric perfection. It has a metallic luster and a pale brass-yellow hue, which can sometimes exhibit a slightly greenish tint. Its reflective, shiny surface makes it visually appealing and easily distinguishable. Overall, pyrite's aesthetic appeal, variety of forms, and widespread availability make it a fascinating and rewarding mineral for collectors of all levels.
