[[Image:Pyrite.jpg|right|thumb|200px|pyrite -fools gold]] '''Fool's gold''' is the common name of the [[mineral|mineral]] pyrite (iron disulfide, FeS<sub>2</sub>), which, due to its metallic [[Luster|luster]] and brass-yellow hue is oftenly mistaken for [[gold|gold]]. It can be distinguished from real gold by its crystalline structure and, when handled, sulfuric smell. Occasionally, small quantities of gold can be found in pyrite deposits.
