A History of Pyrite: Fool's Gold with a Rich Past

Pyrite, often referred to as "Fool's Gold" due to its resemblance to the precious metal, has a history as captivating as its appearance. The name "pyrite" comes from the Greek word "pyr," meaning "fire," because it can strike sparks when hit against metal. Civilisations throughout history have valued pyrite for its perceived magical and protective qualities, using it in jewellery and as a decorative element.
