This cube of pyrite (fool's gold) kind of looks fake, but it's actually completely natural. Pyrite is able to form in a few different ways, but in my opinion, this cube form is the most interesting. What's odd about fools gold, is that it's shiny and cold like a metal, but it's not a metal at all and it's also very brittle.
