Rainbow Pyrite

Also known as “Fools Gold,” this widely distributed iron sulfide mineral has fooled many miners into thinking they’ve struck it rich. Pyrite is a valuable sulfur ore used to make sulfuric acid and iron sulfates. In Greek, pyrite means “fire stone,” as it sparks when struck together. Pyrite forms in many crystalline systems including cubic, pentagonal, dodecahedral, and octahedral. Found worldwide, major deposits of iron pyrite occur in Peru, USA, Spain, and Mexico. It is said to be an excellent shield against negative energy and pollutants.
