Description :
Pyrite is an iron sulfide mineral(FeS₂) and one of the most common metallic minerals on Earth. Its brassy color and bright reflectivity are what earned it the nickname. Metallic lusterthat catches light from every angle Sparkling, granular texturerather than large cubes Brassy gold color, though sometimes with subtle silvery tones Massive form, meaning it grew in a dense cluster rather than distinct crystals Pyrite can form perfect cubes, octahedra, or pyritohedra, but it also appears in these glittering, compact masses—especially in sedimentary and metamorphic environments. Pyrite develops in: Hydrothermal veins Sedimentary layers rich in organic material Metamorphic rocks Coal seams and shale beds It often grows where sulfur and iron are abundant and oxygen is limited. The shine is irresistible It’s durable and displays well It forms an incredible variety of shapes It’s a classic teaching mineral for identifying metallic luster and sulfides Disclaimer:
