The brass-yellow colour and metallic lustre are intrinsic to the mineral. Pyrite produces sparks when struck against metal or stone, which is the origin of its name and the basis of its prehistoric use as a fire-starting material worldwide. Mesoamerican cultures polished it into mirrors, and Aztec and Inca examples survive in archaeological collections.

The mineral is strongly piezoelectric and pyroelectric: rubbed or heated, it develops an electric charge and visibly attracts dust and small particles, a property that saw it used in scientific instruments from the eighteenth century onward. Sodalite is a sodium aluminium silicate chloride, cubic and rating 5.5-6, a feldspathoid rather than a true feldspar, taking its blue from sulphur and iron impurities and its white veining from calcite inclusions.
