Also known as fool s gold, pyrite often forms as hot water flows through fractures in subsurface rock. This method of deposition also gives pyrite the opportunity to replace other minerals or even fossils through a process known as pyritization. The shiny metallic luster exhibited by this sample, along with its bright brassy color, makes it an impressive addition to mineral collections or classroom exercises. This sample is also available in packs of 12.
