Fools Gold

Fool's Gold can scupper the dreams of many a wannabe prospector. A naturally occurring mineral, Iron Pyrite - as this confounding substance is scientifically named - has all the characteristics of the real deal; a handful of the shiny chippings glisten and sparkle with a yellowish gleam. The portion of this mineral charlatan is stored in a drawstring bag which, although emblazoned with a Fool's Gold motto, makes it seem like it just might conceal something precious. It may be neither rare nor expensive, but it is an absolute classic in the field of curiosity and pranks. Remember, not all that glitters is Fool's Gold!
