FOOL'S GOLD

Fool's Gold is iron pyrites, a compound of iron with sulphur. It is a gold-coloured or pale brassy-yellow mineral often found in coal seams. The colour fooled many miners and prospectors, who thought it was real gold-hence its nickname. The substance has a metallic appearance and is brittle. The Greek word pyr means fire, and iron pyrites produces many sparks when struck against steel. It has a practical use as a source of sulphur in the manufacture of sulphuric acid.
