"Fool's gold" (pyrite) is nice to look at, but not especially useful. That could change if the findings of a small study hold up. Unexpectedly higher levels of lithium – an element that's in enormous ...

Gold is generally associated with pyrite (iron disulfide, FeS2), and pyrite-induced gold precipitation is critical to the ...

Pyrite, the yellow metal known as fool’s gold, has another trick up its sleeve: it can contain lithium, a crucial element in the world’s quest for greener energy, according to a team of researchers ...

Gold is generally associated with pyrite (iron disulfide, FeS 2), and pyrite-induced gold precipitation is critical to the formation of high-grade gold deposits. However, the role of pyrite in ...
