It depends. Pyrite (or "fool's gold) is a mineral that can contain 0.25 percent or more of gold. If a pyrite sample contains this amount, and assuming the price of gold is $1500 per troy ounce, then one ton of pyrite would be worth a little over $100,000.

What is an example of fools gold?

There isn't much for examples of fools gold in everyday items that you have in your house. About the only thing i can think of besides looking at a piece of fools gold in pictures on the internet or at a local rock shop or museum would be to crumple some tinfoil up and color it a dark gold. Where you see the small, almost square patterns in the tinfoil is a bit like fools gold. Iron Pyrite, this minerals metalic luster and pale brass-yellow hue have earned it the the nickname "fools gold" because of its resemblance to gold.


Are there Field tests for telling the difference between fools gold and real gold?

Real gold is extremely soft and malleable; therefore, real gold could be dented with little pressure. Fools gold (Iron Pyrite) is much harder, and therefore harder to dent. A practical method is to get the material wet, and hold it up in the sun. Gold and fools gold will both shine. Now put your hand between the material and the sun. The gold will still shine, but the fools gold will become quite dark. This is because the shine of gold comes from diffuse reflection (like light shining on paper), while fools gold's comes from specular reflection (like a mirror).
