Pyrite

黄铁矿

Fe₂S

Pyrite is Fe₂S, an important example of a sulfide mineral. Often known as "fool's gold", it has a shiny metallic gold color. All the samples shown here are on display in the Smithsonican Museum of Natural History. This sample has a maximum width of about 15 cm and is from Navajun, La Rioja, Spain. It is a completely natural formation that shows extraordinarily precise cubic structure. This cubic geometery mirrors the internal cubic arrangement of the iron and sulfur atoms.

黄铁矿是Fe₂S，是一种重要的硫化物矿物。它通常被称为“愚人金”，具有闪闪发光的金属金黄色。此处展示的所有样本均陈列于史密森尼国家博物馆。此样本的最大宽度约为15厘米，采自西班牙拉里奥哈的纳瓦朱恩。这是一种完全自然形成的矿物，显示出极其精确的立方结构。这种立方结构反映了铁和硫原子内部的立方排列。

This sample is about 5 cm wide and is from Potosi', Brazil.

这个样本宽约5厘米，来自巴西波托西。

This compares the cubic pyrite sample with a goethite sample which formed after pyrite. The pyrite sample at right is from Ambassaguas mine, Amejun, La Rioja, Spain. It is about 15 cm wide.

不同形态的黄铁矿示例

This pyrite sample is about 4x4 cm and is from Ambassaguas mine, La Rioja, Spain.

Pyrite is a signifant mineral source for sulfur. It is not used as an ore for iron because of the difficulty of separating the iron from the sulfur.

黄铁矿是硫的重要矿物来源。由于难以将铁与硫分离，它不被用作铁的矿石。
