Pyrite from Huanzala Mine, Bolognesi Province, Ancash Department, Peru

Pyrite is one of the most common minerals, found in a wide variety of locations. Because of its gold color, it was often mistaken for gold, leading to the nickname 'fool's gold', although it's actually very easily distinguishable from real gold because it's much harder, yet lighter. Pyrite very often contains both Nickel and Cobalt in trace amounts.
