Pyrite with rock crystal on metal base
Located in BAARN, UT
Pyrite (FeS2, iron (II) disulfide) is the most abundant sulfide mineral in the world. It is found literally everywhere, in igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks and in sedimentary rocks.
It usually forms cubic crystals, with each crystal having six planes and razor-sharp corners and has a somewhat pale, coppery-yellow metallic luster.

In the 1840'smMany of the inexperienced fortune hunters...
