Pyrite is a type of iron sulphide mineral that is known for its metallic luster and golden colour, often leading to its nickname "Fools Gold". It often forms as cubic or pyritohedral crystals, as well as in other forms such as in massive or nodular aggregates.

It is a common mineral that is found in many types of rocks, and is commonly found in sedimentary rocks, as well as in hydrothermal veins and as a weathering product of other sulfide minerals.

Pyrite is commonly used in the production of sulphuric acid.
