PPT-PYRITE

Earth Science 11 Rocks and Minerals Eva Xie 11A Pyrite Category sulfide mineral Chemical formula FeS 2 Pyrite is known as fools gold due to its metallic and glistening luster . Pyrite (FeS) is one of the most widespread and persistent minerals and occurs in sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. Pyrite grows in crystalline forms, typically cubic, octahedral, or more r R. CRAIG of Geological Sciences, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061, USA M.

Consequently, the flotation behaviour of Cu, Au and pyrite was examined on the basis of recovery and grade as well as the mechanis NAG. /HPAG/PAG/Pyrite Pond . (Total Disturbance 8.6 . ha).

Talk to the students about prospecting for gold and how many miners were fooled by something that looks a lot like gold called pyrite. The students will work in small groups to compare samples of fool’s gold and real gold. They will use the attached worksheet to document their findings and make a prediction on which sample is the real gold. The class will reconvene to hear which indicators mean gold and which mean fool’s gold to check their prediction. . 1) Rocks cannot be made of organic material. 2) Luster is classified as metallic and non-metallic. 3) Scientist use tests to identify minerals. 4) Minerals that make up rocks can be mined as ores. 5) A liquid or gas can be classified as a mineral.
