Geo Journal week 2

 This week we are talking about minerals and I am very excited. The mineral that I had found a few years ago was a piece of pyrite. I remember I was really excited at first  thinking that I could sell it for money but turns out that these are very common. The piece I found was really cool since it was a large cube and had a smaller cube trying to leave the structure which I thought was super cool. Pyrite is classified as a sulfide. I ended up giving it to my father because he collects little nick nacks on his desk  and I thought it would make for a cool paper weight. The picture is exactly identical to the piece I gave my father. I will update the blog when he sends me a better photo of the pyrite.
