Pyrite is considered the most common of the sulfide minerals. Pyrite's metallic luster & pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool's gold. The color has also led to the nicknames brass, brazzle, & Brazil, primarily used to refer to pyrite found in coal. The name pyrite is derived from the Greek πυρίτης (pyritēs), "of fire" or "in fire", in turn from πύρ (pyr), "fire". in ancient Roman times, this name was applied to several types of stone that would create sparks when struck against steel; Pliny the Elder described one of them as being brassy, almost certainly a reference to what we now call pyrite. Pyrite is usually found associated with other sulfides or oxides in quartz veins, sedimentary rock, & metamorphic rock, as well as in coal beds & as a replacement mineral in fossils, but has also been identified in the sclerites of scaly-foot gastropods.] Despite being nicknamed fool's gold, pyrite is sometimes found in association with small quantities of gold. Gold & arsenic occur as a coupled substitution in the pyrite structure. in the Carlin-type gold deposits, arsenian pyrite contains up to 0.37% gold by weight.
