Pyrite is used in the production of sulfur and sulfuric acid.
Pyrite is sometimes an ore of gold and copper. It is also an ore of sulfur, which is used in the production of tires, explosives, disinfectants, medicines, ink, wood preservatives, dyes, matches, and sulfuric acid. Some collector specimens can be quite valuable as well.
Pyrite is often referred to as "fool's gold" and is used as ore of sulfur, for sulfuric acid, explosives, fertilizers, pulp processing, and insecticides.
