AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pyrite is a very common mineral composed of iron sulfide, like marcasite, which takes its name from the Greek term πῦρ pyr (fire) because it produces sparks when struck with a piece of metal. Because of its golden color it was formerly known as fool's gold; when heated to flame it emits a mixture of sulfides with the classic odor of rotten eggs. It is commonly found in the form of crystals in various shapes.
