Pyrite
The Mineral pyrite is also sometimes called Foolsgold, Crazy gold or tinsel because it is often confused with gold because of the color. However, pyrite is something completely different, because it is an iron disulfide with the chemical formula  FeS2. It is an important ore for both sulfur and iron and is therefore widely mined. The name comes from Greek and is derived from the word pry which means fire. This is because sparks come from the mineral when you hit a stone with it, for example.
