What is Fool's Gold?
The shiny nugget buried inside this stone looks like gold but it is actually a common mineral called pyrite. It is called "Fool's Gold" because it is often mistaken for gold. Pyrite is not as dense as gold is but it is harder and more brittle. Pyrite crystals are found all over the world and in all types of rock such as igneous and sedimentary.

Includes:

• Rock block with Fool's Gold in the middle.
• Digging tool.
• Instructions on how to excavate the Fool's Gold.
