Foolâs Gold for April Foolâs Day. âFoolâs Goldâ is technically known as pyrite or iron sulfide (FeS2) and is one of the most common sulfide minerals. Sulfide minerals are a group of inorganic compounds containing sulfur and one or more elements. Minerals are defined by their chemistry and crystalline structure.
Pyrite consists of iron and sulfur and occurs in all classes of rock. Pyrite is often called fool's gold because it looks like gold. When pyrite is melted, the iron and sulfur in it separates. The sulfur is used to make sulfuric acid, the kind of acid in car batteries.
