*Pyrite (aka Fools Gold)   During the California Gold Rush, many miners thought they had struck it rich only to learn their precious strikes were actually pyrite whose metallic luster earned it the nickname Fool's Gold because of its resemblance to real gold. Marcasite jewelry, made since the time of the Ancient Greeks and particularly popular with designers during the Victorian and Art Nouveau era, also uses many tiny pieces of pyrite set in silver or other metals.
