For those that dont know; Pyrite (FeS) is also called fools gold. Its a high quality piece that will fool anyone without geological knowledge. Looks like my sample may have a big piece in it. After I keep a sample for myself, I need to fuck with people with it.

NS, Please turn this piece of junk to a gold mine of comedy and shoot some ideas to really fuck with people!

when you're with your friends outside, keep it in your pocket, then when your friends arent looking, put it in some rocks, then pick it up, and tell them you've found gold

i know my idea sucks i cant think of anything better than this

I think that's just way too obviously pyrite to fool anyone. The cube shape gives it away 100%.

And this is coming from someone who has carried large specimens of pyrite many, many miles while on backpacking trips only to be let down. And I know what pyrite is and looks like. It's when it is not in a cube shape and is next to a a quartz vein that it seems to really throw me off.

Dude, people are so fucking dumb, they will fall for it. Most people have no idea what free gold looks like. But yeah, without quartz, its hard to fool knowledgeable people.

Im more excited about a possible gold vein due to the pegmatite and the huge apatite cristals with that big piece of pyrite. Still gotta find a way to amuse myself with it.

My old coworker actually got a good chunk of pyrite out of a drill core. One of the rig hands thought it was gold so he went along with it and let the hand keep it. 2 days later guy comes back saying its not gold, he actually tried to pawn it

THIS is what Im talking about! I laughed reading your post.
Trying to turn it in to a fake gold bar would be hillarious.
