Description
Enhance your geology lessons with this Pack of 10 Pyrite Massive Mineral Specimens, an ideal set for classroom study and hands-on exploration. Known as “fool’s gold” for its striking brassy-yellow, metallic shine, pyrite is one of the most recognizable minerals used in teaching identification skills
These specimens highlight key diagnostic features of pyrite, including its greenish-black streak, noticeable when scratched,. Also its Mohs hardness of 6–6.5, which helps differentiate it from real gold. Unlike true gold, pyrite often shatters when struck. Thus making it an excellent mineral for demonstrating physical properties in a controlled learning environment.
This set is perfect for geology classrooms, earth science kits, and lab-based instruction. It gives students a reliable, hands-on way to examine crystal habits, luster, colour, and texture.
