Pyrite is a common mineral that is called several other names, most notably Marcasite and Fools Gold. Pyrite is also a Greek word that means fire (for obvious reasons); it’s a beautiful mineral and resembles gold with its sparkle and luster.
It’s also appearing in a number of indie jewelry designers’ collections, such as Jamie Joseph, Melissa Joy Manning and Robindira Unsworth. Pyrite pairs nicely with this Fall’s 2012 fashions and is affordable.
