In my opinion, fool’s gold is a really interesting mineral, and in this video, I try to show some of its cool properties.

This is the first in a series that I hope to do on mineral, so please suggest any other ones that you might like to see!

I work underground in a coal mine (Longwall) . Some times when we are cutting through certain parts of the seam you can see this pyrite through the whole face. It’s amazing, especially when you shine your cap lamp (head light) onto it you can really see it in contrast with how dark it is against the black coal face. Absolutely beautiful stuff, the whole coal face will sparkle with it. I have a few pieces of coal at home that are completely lousy with these pyrites. It’s simply amazing, beautiful stuff.

What I found interesting from this video is that Pyrite is a formidable insulator. That torch probably burns at least 2500°F and for the exterior to turn red hot but only transfer the heat about 3mm deep is quite impressive.

I didn't know that it is called "fools gold" in english. In my language you say "Katzengold" that you could translate with "cat gold". 🐱

awesome video very informative! we have found perfect cubes of this stuff in the abandoned mines we explore. one thing i would like to point out is that the the small shiny pieces in streambeds that people often say is pyrite or fools gold is most likely actually mica. the mineral labeled as pyrite at 3:23 is most likely mica unless the material being panned was just crushed and hasn't been exposed to oxygen but it looks like stream sediment. pyrite tends to rust very easily when exposed to oxygen and even quicker when exposed to water and becomes dull quickly but mica retains its shine forever even as it is broken down in streams to smaller and smaller pieces

This video inspired me to start a small collection of pyrite, and one of my prize pieces is one of those perfect cubes. And then I started just straight-up collecting pure elements from the periodic table, so that's been fun.
