Pyrites, also known as iron pyrites or fool's gold, are minerals composed primarily of iron sulfide.

The term "pyrites" is often used to refer to multiple pieces or clusters of pyrite crystals.

Pyrites are commonly found in sedimentary rocks, hydrothermal veins, and metamorphic rocks around the world.

The metallic luster and brassy yellow color of pyrites can resemble gold, hence the nickname "fool's gold."
