Geology
Iron Pyrite
I have some rock / mineral samples here, so decided to try and take some pictures with my USB Microscope
Iron Pyrite or fools gold
Gold!!
Well, fools gold at least.
Iron pyrite crystals around what I think is a Calcite core that was surrounded by shale.
County Clare, Ireland.

Two composite images of the same #IronPyrite crystal cluster.
The square crystals with a lot of twinning (growing through each other) is a telltale sign to distinguish it from chalcopyrite or marcasite - which are also common metallic minerals in Cornwall.
Pyrite is a pretty decent #semiconductor and has a melting point of 1,177-1,188 °C.
