(iron oxide) was not applied externally.

Pyrite or Pyrites is a term applied to iron disulphide when

crystallized in the cubic system.

     Gold is often present in pyrite, and in many gold-mining 

districts the precious metal is obtained mainly from

auriferous pyrite. As pyrite, from its brass-yellow colour,

is sometimes mistaken for gold, it has been vulgarly called 

“fools gold”. (Encyclopaedia Brit., XIV^th Ed., Vol. 18, p. 798). 

Another interesting feature of this rose coloured gold

is that it may possibly enable us to distinguish the

purpose from <those> for ordinary <daily> use. For this delicate

rose coloured film upon the gold, by being so easily

worn off, would hardly be of x[?]/<a>ny permanent use/<use>

for everyday use/<wear> (Author’s Note).
