Geological Information

Pyrite is a sulfide mineral and has a chemical composition of FeS2. It is found in a variety of geological settings including sedimentary, metamorphic, and hydrothermal veins. Pyrite is often associated with gold deposits and can be found in veins or nodules in these areas. Pyrite is a metallic mineral and is often found in cubic formations but can also occur in octahedral or pyritohedral forms. Pyrite is often used in the production of sulfuric acid and has also been used in the production of iron and steel. The ancient Greeks named it “pyrite” meaning “of fire” due to its ability to produce sparks if you strike two pieces against one another.

Works Well With...
