Pyrite is also known as "fool's gold."

It's a bit tricky to tell with your naked eye but gold is softer than pyrite. If you were to bite down on a chunk of gold, you can put a dent in it. However pyrite would be too hard for your tooth to leave a mark.

Gold will flatten if you hit it with a hammer, pyrite will shatter into little pieces. Pyrite will scratch a piece of glass, gold will not.
