Pyrite: FeS2
Named in antiquity from the Greek “pyr” for “fire”, because sparks flew from it when hit with another mineral or metal (piezoelectricity).
The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, also known as fool’s gold, is an iron sulfide which has the chemical formula FeS2. This mineral’s metallic luster and pale brass yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold.
