Pyrite occurs in numerous shapes and habits. In this case they can include fascinating cubes such as penetration twins, and other interesting crystal forms. For instance, the smaller crystal aggregates may give off a beautiful glistening effect in light. In the same way, the larger crystals may be perfectly formed.
Pyrite’s metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool’s gold. And loved by many Feng Shui experts for its ability to attract the energy of wealth in addition to abundance.
It turns out that fool’s gold may not be so useless after all. New research finds that pyrite sometimes contains miniscule amounts of actual gold but due to the miniscule microscopic size it cannot be seen with standard microscopes.
