A summary of pyrite's main properties is given in. Table 1. Herein, pyrite refers to the cubic sulphide FeS 2; pyrites is used as the umbrella term for a collection of yellowish metallic sulphides, see. Table 2. Note that marcasite is pyrite's unstable low temperature dimorph. Marcasite is a pyrites, it is not pyrite.

Pyrite and marcasite aggregates were found in a sample of blue silty clay from an exploration drill core at the northern edge of the Troyanovo North mine, Maritsa East lignite basin, Bulgaria. The aggregates have various sizes – from 50 µm (single crystal twins) to 0.5 cm (large twinned aggregates). Pyrite occurs as single cubic and …

1. Introduction. Iron pyrite (cubic FeS 2) has attracted renewed attention as the most promising light-absorbing material for low-cost thin-film photovoltaic devices due to its abundance in the earth and lack of toxicity (Wadia et al., 2009a, Ennaoui et al., 1986, Ennaoui et al., 1993).In addition, the intrinsic properties of pyrite necessary for efficient …

Pyrite crystals are generally equant, and dominated by cubes, octahedrons and 12-sided pyritohedrons. Marcasite crystals are usually rectangular (tabular) with wedge-shaped ends and tend to form in star shaped, radiating or cockscomb groups. Marcasite is also much more restricted in occurrence than pyrite, forming only in low temperature, near ...

The three structures: pyrite, marcasite, and arsenopyrite, are characterized by diatomic anions. These signal the formation of a single anion-pair bond, which means that the interacting orbitais per anion pair are split into a filled, bonding molecular o-^ orbital and an empty, antibonding molecular o^* orbital.

Pyrite and marcasite, on the other hand, have almost identical physical properties, making them tough to tell from each other. Let's go through their properties. Both are metallic and pale yellow to brassy yellow. Both can tarnish and be iridescent. Both are 6-6.5 on the Mohs' hardness scale. Neither have a particularly prominent cleavage ...

Marcasite (FeS 2) is an iron sulfide that is sometimes called "white iron pyrite" because it has the same chemical formula as pyrite.It is distinct from pyrite because it crystallizes in an orthorhombic crystal system. This mineral is normally a pale brass-yellow color and crystals occur in association with Olentangy Shale and Ohio Shale in outcrops in …

In this study, we characterized FeS2 thin films grown by the non-vacuum spin-coating method. We annealed the samples under a sulfur atmosphere at different sulfurization temperatures. The phase transformation from marcasite-containing pyrite to pure pyrite occurs between 350 and 400 °C. The structural phase formation on the films …

In marcasite, we find that the spread of surface energies between the different facets is smaller than in pyrite, with the (010), (101), (110) and (111) facets all having low energies, in ...

Core recovered from Hess Rise contains concentrations of pyrite, marcasite, and barite in the lowermost meter of limestone (Unit II) and in the brecciated upper part of the underlying volcanic basement (Unit HI). Petrographic and chemical data indicate that the sulfide-barite assemblage in the limestone is mainly a product of low-temperature diagenetic processes.

Sulfur isotopes determined from in situ LA-multicollector (MC)-ICP-MS analyses of hydrothermal pyrite and marcasite from the Daqiao deposit vary significantly from -31.3 to 22.0 ppm (delta (super 34) S values) but fall mostly between -10 to 10 ppm and provide important information on the source and evolution of sulfur and of the ore-forming fluids.

Pyrite is also exceptionally dense, with a specific gravity of 5.0 to 5.2. Only hematite has a higher density. Marcasite tends to be lighter in color, and is sometimes referred to as "white iron pyrite". Sometime marcasite has a greenish tint, or a multi-colored tarnish that is the result of oxidation. But marcasite has an unstable orthorhombic ...
