The funky-looking metallic mineral found in cube or pyritohedral form in nature
has popped up in a multitude of jewelry collections this year. Pyrite, containing
iron disulfide, has been referred to as "fool's gold" for its muted, sometimes brassy
hues, and can be used to make marcasite jewelry. href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001CQAXkMzdJtdQXm-hdx63IUmpD8MRNEXjrQGzk40ZetQLola9WB5z3F76US6cHUzUEDa6N8teIPzvrEIQegvXWGwAMJMdWZg7IuCGu7vhgDLzNC9OKjlrnkHZRxTUiV6mGe0LNB-AUtNlF9IaOnz5apXl1EAlFgLfSjCx09JeKV59qOnniB6cOzWVEEe0qflYhRinlaCmh7kBVEDRknRxL2BVgl55qTxfdlpL_ITn4nJ6SwivJwntXPYV8_yPGXSUbYHpbnkg0MUvGiYaFpVxDj34MZmIkCZMCruP0EQqrAjr42FsLxjIr-i3z4eCyA1g8U7Rnq0ZnyVdBk0mNxin5gd9hPSa_yCcFPGDDrTIViw_E0W_GJynKw=="
