Also known as Apache Gold, it is formed as a combination of two minerals: pyrite and magnetite. Pyrite is an iron sulfide mineral known for its metallic luster and brassy-yellow color, sometimes mistaken for gold (hence its nickname "fool's gold"). Magnetite is an iron oxide mineral with a distinctive black color and magnetic properties. Apache Pyrite has a distinctive appearance where golden pyrite contrasts sharply against the black magnetite-rich matrix. it is an enchanting stone of confidence, joy, personal power and strength.
