FOOL'S GOLD (IRON PYRITE)

Fool’s Gold, known scientifically as pyrite, is an iron sulphide mineral formed in sedimentary rocks, hydrothermal veins, and metamorphic environments. Its metallic lustre and brassy gold colour create eye-catching, sharply defined cubic crystals that have misled prospectors for centuries. Steeped in folklore, it was once carried as a charm for protection and good fortune. Metaphysically, Fool’s Gold is often associated with boosting confidence, motivation, and resilience, making it a striking and uplifting stone for collectors and energy enthusiasts alike.
