Pyrite 

I challenged myself to not name Pyrite once as fool's gold because it is probably the most commonly known fact about this mineral. I forced myself to learn something in the process and I hope this video will come off as an honest effort for all of you. Come and join me in this new chapter of Min*dex. You won't regret it!
