Pyrite Anklet
Pyrite Anklet
Note
Pyrite naturally oxidizes with time, so its pale metallic shine can slowly darken or change.
Even the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) mentions that pyrite reacts with oxygen and ferric iron, gradually changing through oxidation. So this slight change in appearance is actually a sign of natural, genuine pyrite.
That’s why if a stone stays extremely bright yellow or golden for years without any visible change at all, there’s a chance it may not be pure pyrite. In some cases, it could be hematite or another treated mineral being sold as pyrite.
