Iron Sulfide (FeS2), Bingham Copper Mine, Utah

perception of frosting & iron pyrite altered by age

young:
you prefer the frosting to the cake & think the
captivating luster of iron pyrite is as good as gold

old:
frosting makes you gag & iron pyrite captivates you for its
isometric crystal system and conchoidal fracture.
