Pieces of pyrite have also been used as a spark-producing material in flintlock firearms.
Pyrite Crystals are a brass-yellow mineral with a shiny metallic luster. It has a chemical composition of iron sulfide (FeS2) and is the most, not unusual sulfide mineral. It forms at excessive and low temperatures and occurs, generally in small quantities, in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks global. Pyrite is so not unusual that many geologists could remember it to be a ubiquitous mineral.
