Pyrite
The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, also known as fool's gold, is an iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS2. This mineral's metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool's gold. The color has also led to the nicknames brass, brazzle, and Brazil, primarily used to refer to pyrite found in coal.
Pyrite is the most common of the sulfide minerals. The name pyrite is derived from the Greek πυρίτης (pyritēs), "of fire" or "in fire", in turn from πύρ (pyr), "fire". In ancient Roman times, this name was applied to several types of stone that would create sparks when struck against steel; Pliny the Elder described one of them as being brassy, almost certainly a reference to what we now call pyrite. By Georgius Agricola's time, c. 1550, the term had become a generic term for all of the sulfide minerals.
Pyrite is usually found associated with other sulfides or oxides in quartz veins, sedimentary rock, and metamorphic rock, as well as in coal beds and as a replacement mineral in fossils. Despite being nicknamed fool's gold, pyrite is sometimes found in association with small quantities of gold. Gold and arsenic occur as a coupled substitution in the pyrite structure. In the Carlin–type gold deposits, arsenian pyrite contains up to 0.37 wt% gold.

Fool's Gold (2008 film)
Fool's Gold is an 2008 American-Australian adventure-romance film from Warner Bros. Pictures about a recently divorced couple who rekindle their romantic life while searching for a lost treasure. The film was directed by Andy Tennant and reunites the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days stars Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson.
Plot
"Finn" Finnegan is a treasure hunter looking for a treasure from a Spanish galleon, known as the Aurelia, that was lost at sea with the 1715 Treasure Fleet. In his search to find the treasure, his wife, Tess, divorces him. Tess has been working as a butler on a huge yacht owned by multi-millionaire, Nigel Honeycutt. Finn finds a clue to the location of the treasure and manages to get on Honeycutt's yacht The Precious Gem and convince him, his daughter, Gemma, and Tess to join him in searching for the treasure. A local gangster named Bigg Bunny and Finn's mentor, Mo Fitch, are intent on finding the treasure first.

Four (One Direction album)
Four is the fourth studio album by English-Irish boy band One Direction, released on 17 November 2014 by Columbia Records and Syco Music. Two singles were released from the album, "Steal My Girl" and "Night Changes", both achieving platinum status in the US, and scoring the band their tenth and eleventh UK top-ten hits.
The album received generally positive reviews from music critics. It debuted at number one in 18 countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States. The album was also One Direction's last with member Zayn Malik, who announced he was leaving the band on 25 March 2015. In August 2015, Four became the band's fourth consecutive album to sell in excess of 1 million copies in the United States. The band became the first band to have their first four albums debut at number one in the United States.
Background and development
On 27 April 2014, it was confirmed that One Direction were working on their fourth studio album. Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne worked on the majority of the album with songwriters Julian Bunetta, John Ryan, and Jamie Scott, but members Harry Styles and Zayn Malik also co-wrote tracks with Bunetta, Ryan, Scott and producer Johan Carlson. Niall Horan, the fifth member of One Direction, was unable to be involved in writing due to a leg injury.

This mineral looks fake
This is a cube of pyrite (fool's gold), and it kind of looks fake, but it's actually completely natural. Pyrite is able to form in a few different ways, but in my opinion, this cube form is the most interesting. What I think is odd about fools gold, is that it's shiny and cold like a metal, but it's not a metal at all and it's also very brittle. #shorts

This month's Rocks Box is pyrite, also called fool's gold. But this fool's gold might not be so foolish, since we can use it to get all kinds of other minerals we really need, and it may be a key to getting real gold after all.

7 Things You Didn’t Know About Pyrite!
Are you curious about the stone that's known as "fool's gold" but holds the power of prosperity and creativity? What if I told you that this enchanting stone has more to offer than just its metallic appearance? In this video, we will uncover seven fascinating things you didn't know about pyrite, the stone of fortune. Stay tuned to learn more about the magic of pyrite and how it can transform your life.
1. Pyrite, the Origins of a Name, Did you know that the name Pyrite comes from the Greek word "pyro" meaning fire? It is said that this association came from the fact that striking the stone against another material such as iron would cause sparks. In early times, this gave man a way of creating fire; in later times, this stone’s ability made it popular for use in early firearm devices. Even today, it is still used in the production of sulfuric acid. The term “fool’s gold†comes from the simple fact that pyrite was often mistaken for gold because of its striking resemblance. Curiously enough, gold is often found adjacent to pyrite deposits. It would be foolish to find pyrite and not look a little further.
2. Pyrite Next to obsidian, pyrite is another stone that was often used in scrying practices. The Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas of Southern Mexico would polish large slabs of pyrite until it gained a mirror-like surface upon which they would gaze and search for messages regarding the future. The Native Americans also believed that they could look into one’s very soul when peering at the surface of a polished piece of pyrite.
Now back to the video,
3. Pyrite, a Stone of Power. Frequently used by North American Indian shamans in amulets, pyrite was believed to hold a special magic. They called it “the stone of power†and as medicine men would often use it in healing rituals, it was also sometimes called “the healer’s stone†.
4. Pyrite is found in Lapis Lazuli. Lapis lazuli, the deep blue gemstone that has captivated humanity for centuries, has a hidden secret within it: pyrite. At first glance, one might only see the deep blue hue and intricate patterns of the stone, but upon closer inspection, tiny flecks of glittering gold can be seen scattered throughout. These flecks are not gold, however, but rather pyrite, a mineral with a metallic luster that complements the blue of the lapis lazuli perfectly. The combination of these two minerals creates a stunning effect that has made lapis lazuli a sought-after gemstone for centuries, from ancient Egypt to modern-day jewelry makers. Despite its popularity, the fact that pyrite is present in lapis lazuli remains a fascinating secret that adds to its allure and mystique.
5. Pyrite, a Stone of Good Fortune. For thousands of years, it has been believed that pyrite is a stone of good fortune which attracts wealth and prosperity. The theory is that if it is well-cleansed and touched by no one else but the owner, a piece of this stone kept in the pocket will bring abundance and luck. Interestingly enough, when mining for pyrite, if one digs a little further one will be sure to find actual gold.
6. Pyrite in Spiritual Healing. Aside from being a great stone for attracting wealth, pyrite is said to be a great enhancer of determination and manifestation. It also creates balance and flow between the right brain and left brain functions. This helps to transform intuition and creativity from thoughts into rational and logical action. Try meditating with pyrite while saying out loud what it is you wish to accomplish and this stone will help you stay on track until you succeed. Pyrite has been used by many ancient civilizations throughout history and is still a famous stone today. It was often used by the ancient Greeks, Romans and Native Americans who believed the stone contained healing powers and pure magic within. With archaeologists having unearthed many fascinating pyrite artifacts over the years, one can only imagine the rich history associated with this stone. Here are seven things you didn’t know about Pyrite.
7. Pyrite in Chinese lore. In ancient Chinese lore, pyrite held significant cultural and spiritual importance. The Chinese believed that the earth was a golden cube covered by a round sky, and pyrite was seen as a physical manifestation of this belief.

This is a cube of pyrite (fool's gold), and it kind of looks fake, but it's actually completely natural. Pyrite is able to form in a few different ways, but in my opinion, this cube form is the most interesting.
What I think is odd about fools gold, is that it's shiny and cold like a metal, but it's not a metal at all and it's also very brittle.

[Verse 1]
Babe, just say you miss me, is it that hard?
Too long since I've heard about our love
Am I in this by myself? Hey yeah
With rose colored lenses on my store bought frames
To see something other than these blues and grays
I need something different, hey yeah, yeah, yeah
Cause you ain't feeling the same
[Hook]
Who knows, maybe I'm crazy, that's one big maybe
But even a fool knows when it's gold, gold, gold
I know pyrite from 24 karat, yeah
Cubic's from genuine diamond, yeah
A call from the woman who loves you and hello from a friend
I know when it's real, I know how to tell
I know the difference between what you say and how you feel
Oh, oh I know when it's real
[Verse 2]
Oh, I can tell the difference every time that you call
But I don’t need a drink I need some time in my car
Time to drive and think, time to park and cry
You shoulda known you were beautiful
You shoulda known what I saw in you, yeah
Please forgive me for feeling like it’s all your fault
A heavy heart can’t carry blame for the loss
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
You might not notice but I’m a man with pride
And this hurts me baby deep down, deep down
I can’t let go of this, gotta know I tried
It’s pathetic baby don’t lie, don’t lie
I’m a candle, you’re the sun
And you’re burning baby, you're burning baby
Burning up, burning up
Burning up, burning up, burning up, yeah
Pyrite from 24 karat yeah
Cubic’s from genuine diamond yeah
A call from the woman who loves you
And hello from a friend
We'll never be more than friends
We'll never be...

7 Things You Didn’t Know About Pyrite!
Are you curious about the stone that's known as "fool's gold" but holds the power of prosperity and creativity? What if I told you that this enchanting stone has more to offer than just its metallic appearance? In this video, we will uncover seven fascinating things you didn't know about pyrite, the stone of fortune. Stay tuned to learn more about the magic of pyrite and how it can transform your life.
1. Pyrite, the Origins of a Name, Did you know that the name Pyrite comes from the Greek word "pyro" meaning fire? It is said that this association came from the fact that striking the stone against another material such as iron would cause sparks. In early times, this gave man a way of creating fire; in later times, this stone’s ability made it popular for use in early firearm devices. Even today, it is still used in the production of sulfuric acid. The term “fool’s gold†comes from the simple fact that pyrite was often mistaken for gold because of its striking resemblance. Curiously enough, gold is often found adjacent to pyrite deposits. It would be foolish to find pyrite and not look a little further.
2. Pyrite Next to obsidian, pyrite is another stone that was often used in scrying practices. The Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas of Southern Mexico would polish large slabs of pyrite until it gained a mirror-like surface upon which they would gaze and search for messages regarding the future. The Native Americans also believed that they could look into one’s very soul when peering at the surface of a polished piece of pyrite.
Now back to the video,
3. Pyrite, a Stone of Power. Frequently used by North American Indian shamans in amulets, pyrite was believed to hold a special magic. They called it “the stone of power†and as medicine men would often use it in healing rituals, it was also sometimes called “the healer’s stone†.
4. Pyrite is found in Lapis Lazuli. Lapis lazuli, the deep blue gemstone that has captivated humanity for centuries, has a hidden secret within it: pyrite. At first glance, one might only see the deep blue hue and intricate patterns of the stone, but upon closer inspection, tiny flecks of glittering gold can be seen scattered throughout. These flecks are not gold, however, but rather pyrite, a mineral with a metallic luster that complements the blue of the lapis lazuli perfectly. The combination of these two minerals creates a stunning effect that has made lapis lazuli a sought-after gemstone for centuries, from ancient Egypt to modern-day jewelry makers. Despite its popularity, the fact that pyrite is present in lapis lazuli remains a fascinating secret that adds to its allure and mystique.
5. Pyrite, a Stone of Good Fortune. For thousands of years, it has been believed that pyrite is a stone of good fortune which attracts wealth and prosperity. The theory is that if it is well-cleansed and touched by no one else but the owner, a piece of this stone kept in the pocket will bring abundance and luck. Interestingly enough, when mining for pyrite, if one digs a little further one will be sure to find actual gold.
6. Pyrite in Spiritual Healing. Aside from being a great stone for attracting wealth, pyrite is said to be a great enhancer of determination and manifestation. It also creates balance and flow between the right brain and left brain functions. This helps to transform intuition and creativity from thoughts into rational and logical action. Try meditating with pyrite while saying out loud what it is you wish to accomplish and this stone will help you stay on track until you succeed. Pyrite has been used by many ancient civilizations throughout history and is still a famous stone today. It was often used by the ancient Greeks, Romans and Native Americans who believed the stone contained healing powers and pure magic within. With archaeologists having unearthed many fascinating pyrite artifacts over the years, one can only imagine the rich history associated with this stone. Here are seven things you didn’t know about Pyrite.
7. Pyrite in Chinese lore. In ancient Chinese lore, pyrite held significant cultural and spiritual importance. The Chinese believed that the earth was a golden cube covered by a round sky, and pyrite was seen as a physical manifestation of this belief.

Pyrite
The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, also known as fool's gold, is an iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS2. This mineral's metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool's gold. The color has also led to the nicknames brass, brazzle, and Brazil, primarily used to refer to pyrite found in coal.
Pyrite is the most common of the sulfide minerals. The name pyrite is derived from the Greek πυρίτης (pyritēs), "of fire" or "in fire", in turn from πύρ (pyr), "fire". In ancient Roman times, this name was applied to several types of stone that would create sparks when struck against steel; Pliny the Elder described one of them as being brassy, almost certainly a reference to what we now call pyrite. By Georgius Agricola's time, c. 1550, the term had become a generic term for all of the sulfide minerals.
Pyrite is usually found associated with other sulfides or oxides in quartz veins, sedimentary rock, and metamorphic rock, as well as in coal beds and as a replacement mineral in fossils. Despite being nicknamed fool's gold, pyrite is sometimes found in association with small quantities of gold. Gold and arsenic occur as a coupled substitution in the pyrite structure. In the Carlin–type gold deposits, arsenian pyrite contains up to 0.37 wt% gold.

Fool's Gold
by: Christie1st verse
'Said I was gonna be a rich man
'Said I would go pretty far
'Said I was born to be lucky
Born underneath a good star
I knew all along you was lying
You sure made a fool out of me
I knew from the start you was lying
Apologise to me
Chorus
'Cos all I found was ..
Fools gold
Yeh now, fools gold
Yeh now, fools gold
Man, I was sure taken in
2nd verse
I told you a story of sadness
Of trickery, lies and deceiving
You said I should think of the future
Of honesty, truth and receiving
I knew all along you was lying
You treated me so bad
Well, I knew from the start you was lying
You cheated me so bad
Chorus
Well, I knew all along you was lying
You sure made a fool out of me
Yes, I knew from the start you was lying
Apologise to me
