Pyrite Dollar Sparta, Illnois This is a genuine, Natural PYRITE SUN pyrite sun is 3 1/2" diameter. Always hard to believe, but this is the way the pyrite suns naturally form, and then are mined out of the coal mine in Sparta, Illinois . Pyrite suns (also known as "fool's gold") were thought to be fossilized sand dollars or lily pads, when in fact they are pyrite crystals formed between layers of slate and coal, found deep in coal mines in Sparta (Randolph County), IL, 300 million years ago. A very difficult cleaning process unveils their hidden natural beauty. As the Illinois coal mines shut down one by one, these specimens will become more and more rare. S&H $7.00
