Adorable Pyrite Jewelry: The Fool’s Gold Jewelry
Pyrite Jewelry is a crystalline mineral which is also known as fool’s gold. It is one of Earth’s naturally occurring minerals. In Jewelry making, Pyrite is used as iron ore, which is why it also goes by “Iron Pyrite Jewelry .” The word “Pyrite” comes from the Greek word “pyr” or “pyros,” which means fire. This is due to Pyrite’s unique property of creating sparks when struck against hard surfaces. Because of its hue and shine, Pyrite is often mistaken for real gold, which is why it is also known as “Fool’s Gold.” However, it must be noted that Pyrite is a little bit lighter than actual gold.
