Pyrite is a beautiful mineral that naturally forms into cubic crystal structures. As seen in the photo to the left, pyrite can become amazingly cuboidal, nearly perfect. These natural formations look artificial, almost alien in their perfection, yet they are simply the product of explainable geological events which occur all over the world. Pyrite has the chemical formula FeS2, meaning a single iron atom is bonded to two sulfur atoms. This gives pyrite the capability to form simple cuboidal crystals, under the right environmental conditions. Further, it makes pyrite and important commercial so ...

Pyrite is a beautiful mineral that naturally forms into cubic crystal structures. As seen in the photo to the left, pyrite can become amazingly cuboidal, nearly perfect. These natural formations look artificial, almost alien in their perfection, yet they are simply the product of explainable geological events which occur all over the world. Pyrite has the chemical formula FeS2, meaning a single iron atom is bonded to two sulfur atoms. This gives pyrite the capability to form simple cuboidal crystals, under the right environmental conditions. Further, it makes pyrite and important commercial source for both iron and sulfur. Many industries use pyrite to extract the iron, or they can use pyrite to produce sulfuric acid and other sulfur-based chemicals used for making paper and other industrial applications.
