	PYRITE (Iron Sulfide)
		Pyrite is difficult to distinguish from marcasite when a lack of clear indicators exists.
		Pyrite's structure is analogous to galena's structure with a formula of PbS.
		Pyrite is not as ecomonical as these ores possibly due to their tendency to form larger concentrations of more easily mined material.

	Pyrites - LoveToKnow 1911
		As pyrites, from its brass-yellow colour, is sometimes mistaken for gold, it has been vulgarly called "fool's gold." Traces of thallium, which are present in some pyrites, may be detected in the flues of the furnaces where the metal is roasted.
		Pyrites low in sulphur is incapable of sustaining its own combustion without the aid of an external source of heat, and 45% of sulphur is, for economic reasons, usually regarded as the lowest admissible for sulphuric acid manufacture.
		From Indiana and Ohio a quantity of pyrites is obtained as a by-product in coalmining.

	Pyrite: Pyrite mineral information and data.
		Pyrite is a very common mineral, found in a wide variety of geological formations from sedimentary deposits to hydrothermal veins and as a constituent of metamorphic rocks.
		Pyrite is quite easy to distinguish from Gold, it is much lighter, but harder and cannot be scratched with a fingernail or pocket knife.

		Franklin: The most interesting occurrence of pyrite is in the Franklin limestone, notably in the Fowler and Furnace quarries and in that of the Franklin Iron Company.
		Pyrite is unknown in the zinc ores themselves but is not uncommon in secondary veins traversing them.
		Thus it was noticed in transverse veins at and near the Trotter mine, at the Parker shaft, and in the Buckwheat mine, everywhere associated with and subordinate in amount to sphalerite.

	Geochemical Transactions \| Full text \| The effect of adsorbed lipid on pyrite oxidation under biotic conditions
		Analysis of the bacterial population on the pyrite surface and in solution over the course of the experiments suggested that the pyrite oxidation was dependent in large part on the fraction of bacteria bound to the pyrite surface.
		With regard to microbial-induced pyrite oxidation it is the general consensus that these microorganisms exert their impact on pyrite dissolution to a large degree by increasing the amount of available Fe reactant [i.e., convert Fe to Fe ], which increases the rate of pyrite oxidation [3,12,13].
		The pyrite particles are not visible with epifluorescence microscopy (because the fluorochrome dyes used for staining cells specifically bind to protein and/or DNA only), and bacteria that are attached to the pyrite are visible as microcolonies (cell aggregates).

		Pyrite has also been recognized and described, but it has been considered less abundant than marcasite.
		The two iron sulphides are intimately associated with the galena and sphalerite which occur as crevice and fissure fillings in the Galena dolomite of Ordovician age.
		The present paper describes pyrite with a distinctly fibrous structure and suggests that this mineral is far more abundant than hitherto recognized.

	Geochemical Transactions \| Full text \| Pyrite oxidation inhibition by a cross-linked lipid coating
		Prior to its use, the pyrite was exposed to anoxic water at pH 2 (HCI was used to achieve this pH) to remove surface layers that were oxidized from extended exposure to the ambient atmosphere.
		As a further control (see figure), iron release from pyrite, which had no adsorbed lipid, but was exposed to UV for the same amount of time as the lipid/pyrite system, was measured to be similar to pyrite without exposure to UV.
		It is suggested that the hydrophobic nature of the lipid tails might retard pyrite oxidation by decreasing the interaction of the aqueous phase with the pyrite surface.

	The Cabin Branch Pyrite Mine, 1889-1920
		The Cabin Branch Pyrite Mine employed residents of the villages of Batestown and Hickory Ridge, and the ‘fool’s gold’ that miners brought to the surface was processed into sulfuric acid and used in making soap, fertilizer, and gunpowder.
		Pyrite was strategically important; while the U.S. military fought in the First World War (1917-1918), miners at the Cabin Branch mine were exempted from military conscription.

		Pyrite is used to communicate with and manage the data help on Palm devices; Pyrite Publisher is used to create and distribute Doc format e-books to Palm devices.
		The relation between Pyrite and Sulfur can be better understood by noting that as Rob Tillotson developed Pyrite, he found that he had also been developing code that was useful outside the context of palm applications.
		Pyrite Publisher sort of works, but only if you know enough Python and system administration to fix it, and even after it is fixed to the point of doing some work, it still has an overly large collection of weird bugs.
