other names are white iron pyrite . they are similar to pyrite but a difference in the disulfide S22- ion 's short bonding distance between the sulfur atoms. raw pieces look more like wood chunks while pyrite looks more like cubes.
it comes from the Arabic word markaschatsa, which means "firestone".
Astrological sign:leo

it s pale yellow to almost white. it can tarnish to a yellowish to brown color with black streaks.sometimes with a green hue to it.
Jewelry which is labeled as marcasite is actually pyrite. as pyrite is less brittle and is suitable for jewelry. this Jewelry was around since ancient Greece. but became popular in the 1700's to the Victorian era where it was placed on silver. another name is black diamonds but other minerals share that name as well like hematite.
like pyrite it was seen to attract prosperity, give creativity and heal.
