Pyrite discs, also known as pyrite suns or pyrite dollars, are a form of pyrite in which the crystallization structure forms a disc with radial striations. Pyrite discs are unique to the area ...

The surface irregularities on the pyrite disc are transformed into synthesized sounds. 6 / 7. Ra uses a Raspberry Pi and Arduino Nano as its brains, and features a digital sound processor, ...

Dmitry Morozov, an artist from Moscow, has managed to create a device that is able to read irregularities on a 300 million-year-old disc of Pyrite, turning those irregularities into sound.

Pyrite, chemically known as iron sulfide (FeS₂), is one of Earth’s most common sulfide minerals. Miners and prospectors have ...

We explore an expansive talc mine filled with striking pyrite crystals. After a long and challenging hike, we descend into a complex network of old, partially collapsed tunnels. Navigating through ...

Pyrite has fooled us before; in 2021, a team of researchers found that fool’s gold can, in fact, contain real gold. But the minerals have some clear differences: pyrite is magnetic, and gold is not.

Pyrite is a very common iron-sulfide, forming crystals with a nice yellow color and a strong metallic luster. Its shininess is so pronounced that in some ancient Mesoamerican cultures, large ...

However, extracting lithium has many costs—both financial and environmental—so it’s big news that a new study suggests that pyrite (a.k.a. fool’s gold) could be a potential source of lithium.
