Pyrite Golden Top Exporters

Pyrite Golden is known as fool’s gold. Its metallic yellow luster has fooled many over the years, with consequences that helped shape the modern world, along with the fortunes (and misfortunes) of individuals: According to one story, a fool got what he deserved by marrying a woman for the “hills of gold” on her land that—as you might have guessed—turned out to be hills of pyrite. Pyrite Golden has a brass-yellow color and metallic luster.

It is never much—at most a few tenths of a percent. And extracting it is hard work which involves grinding and heating the mineral, and then treating it with sodium cyanide, which is extremely toxic. But that can be worthwhile. Some 5-10% of the world’s gold production derives from pyrite. And this is likely to increase. An incredibly rare stone to be set in for use in home decor, the glitter of Golden Pyrite both as a crystal and as this side table is simply captivating!
