Pyrite
Pyrite is a reasonably hard, pale brass yellow rock. When it is found, a greensh black or brownish black streak is visible in the rock. It is an opaque, brittle rock. It is an iron mineral. Pyrite is sometimes called "fools gold" because it has similar properties such as color. However it can be distinguished from gold by it's hardness and it's paler colour.
