Pyrite vs. Gold: Easy CrystalIdentification Guide

Pyrite (FeS₂), also called Fool’s Gold, might look like real gold at first glance—but with a few simple tests, you’ll know exactly what you’ve got. In this Wandering Stones livestream replay, mineral expert Hannah breaks down the three most reliable ways to identify pyrite.

✨ In this lesson, you’ll learn:
1. Streak Test – Pyrite leaves a greenish-black streak, while gold leaves a golden streak.
2. Hardness Test – Pyrite (6–6.5 on the Mohs scale) can scratch glass, while soft gold (2.5–3) cannot.
3. Shape & Habit – Pyrite forms sharp cubes, striations, and pyritohedrons, while gold appears in rounded nuggets with no defined crystal structure.

By combining streak, hardness, and shape, you’ll have foolproof ways to tell pyrite from gold—no more guessing, no more confusion.
