Answer 1

The little golden cube that could fool a person into thinking its gold is known as Pyrite.

What are the characteristics of pyrite?

Pyrite is often called, "fools gold" because it takes the appearance of gold if one is not trained in being able to assess gold quantities.

Pyrite is also brittle and so does not bend. You can tell pyrite from gold because pyrite leaves a streak that is brown while gold leaves a streak that is yellow.
