Photographic Print : Iron pyrite crystal
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Iron pyrite crystal
Iron pyrite crystal. Pyrite or iron disulphide (FeS2) is the most abundant sulphide mineral, more commonly known as fools gold. It is mined worldwide as a source of sulphur, which is used to produce sulphuric acid. The word pyrite comes from the Greek, which translates as " stone which strikes fire". Iron pyrite often occurs as well- formed cubic, octahedral or pyritohedral crystals. It occurs as an accessory in igneous, contact metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. Although not very valuable, it is prized by collectors for its infinitely repeating geometry

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of an iron pyrite crystal. Also known as fools gold, this mineral is abundantly found worldwide and serves as a significant source of sulphur for producing sulphuric acid. The name pyrite originates from the Greek language, meaning "stone which strikes fire" highlighting its remarkable ability to create sparks when struck against another hard surface. Iron pyrite crystals often exhibit well-formed cubic, octahedral, or pyritohedral shapes, adding to their allure. These crystals can be found as accessory minerals in various types of rocks including igneous, contact metamorphic, and sedimentary formations. While not particularly valuable in terms of monetary worth, they hold immense value for collectors due to their endlessly repeating geometric patterns. The intricate symmetry and geometrical precision displayed by this iron pyrite crystal make it a true marvel of nature's design. Its unique composition consisting of iron disulphide (FeS2) gives it a distinct golden hue that closely resembles genuine gold - hence the nickname "fools gold". This stunning print captures the essence of Earth science and geology while showcasing the natural wonders hidden within our planet's depths. It serves as a reminder that even minerals deemed less commercially valuable can possess extraordinary beauty worthy of admiration by both scientists and art enthusiasts alike.
