Cleaner Jewelry
You probably hear some jewelry sellers or shops refer to their products
as 'marcasite' jewelry. Do you know what 'marcasite' really is?
Marcasite is a mineral. It is another term used for iron sulfide. But
for the so-called marcasite jewelry, it uses iron pyrite instead of iron
sulfide or the real marcasite. The marcasite and iron pyrite have FeS2
as their chemical formula, the only difference is with how their
crystals are formed, and it is the main reason why they are treated as
different minerals.The real marcasite or iron sulfide cannot be made into jewelry because
they are brittle and usually crumble easily into powdery dust. That is
why jewelry makers use iron pyrite or what other people call fool's gold
instead.The history of marcasite jewelry can be traced back several thousands of
years ago. Ancient people such as the Greek ancestors and the Incas of
Peru have been known to adorn themselves with marcasite jewelry. During
the 18th century, people use marcasite in some of their jewelry such as
brooches, cameos, and lockets.
