Pyrite has the nickname "fool's gold" because the brassy yellow color and chunky appearance have fooled a lot of prospectors looking for gold. It is brittle, metallic mineral and is more than 50% sulfur in composition. The surface of pyrite is often grainy, although cubes are also common.
Great for science projects or classroom collection.
Each piece is irregularly shaped and is between 0.5 and 1 inch in size.
Recommended for ages 7 and older.

I am very happy with the quality of the pyrite I purchased from this seller. The color is marvelous and the size is magnificent for the price asked.

From the picture I was expecting a perfect gift for my sister. Now, I know you can only do so much with Pyrite and it comes in so many different styles, but it was a little greener on one side than I would've hoped. Not that it got in the way though. It was still well worth the purchase and my sister loved it!
