Pyrite is often called 'fools gold' because of its metallic, golden color. The name Pyrite is derived from Greek 'pyr' meaning fire, alluding to the fact that Pyrite forms sparks when rubbed against steel. Pyrites can show negative resistance and have experimentally been used in oscillator circuits as radio detectors.
