  2. Pyrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrite

    Pyrite has been proposed as an abundant, non-toxic, inexpensive material in low-cost photovoltaic solar panels. [25] Synthetic iron sulfide was used with copper sulfide to create the photovoltaic material. [26] More recent efforts are working toward thin-film solar cells made entirely of pyrite. [22] Pyrite is used to make marcasite jewelry.

  3. Dyakis dodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyakis_dodecahedron

    The dyakis dodecahedron only exists in one crystal, pyrite. Pyrite has other forms other than the dyakis dodecahedron, including tetrahedra, octahedra, cubes and pyritohedra. Though the cube and octahedron are in the cubic crystal system, the dyakis dodecahedron and the pyritohedron are in the isometric crystal system and the tetrahedron is in ...

  4. Dodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodecahedron

    The concave equilateral dodecahedron, called an endo-dodecahedron. [clarification needed] A cube can be divided into a pyritohedron by bisecting all the edges, and faces in alternate directions. A regular dodecahedron is an intermediate case with equal edge lengths. A rhombic dodecahedron is a degenerate case with the 6 crossedges reduced to ...

  5. Marcasite jewellery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcasite_jewellery

    Marcasite brooch made from pyrite and silver. Marcasite jewellery is jewellery made using cut and polished pieces of pyrite (fool's gold) as gemstone, and not, as the name suggests, from marcasite. [1] Both pyrite and marcasite are chemically iron sulfide, but differ in their crystal structures, giving them different physical properties. Pyrite ...

  6. Marcasite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcasite

    Marcasite reacts more readily than pyrite under conditions of high humidity. The product of this disintegration is iron(II) sulfate and sulfuric acid. The hydrous iron sulfate forms a white powder consisting of the mineral melanterite, FeSO 4 ·7H 2 O. [13] This disintegration of marcasite in mineral collections is known as "pyrite decay".

  7. Rhombic dodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombic_dodecahedron

    In geometry, the rhombic dodecahedron is a convex polyhedron with 12 congruent rhombic faces. It has 24 edges, and 14 vertices of 2 types. As a Catalan solid, it is the dual polyhedron of the cuboctahedron. As a parallelohedron, the rhombic dodecahedron can be used to tesselate its copies in space creating a rhombic dodecahedral honeycomb.

  8. Quasicrystal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasicrystal

    A Ho–Mg–Zn dodecahedral quasicrystal formed as a pentagonal dodecahedron, the dual of the icosahedron. Unlike the similar pyritohedron shape of some cubic-system crystals such as pyrite, the quasicrystal has faces that are true regular pentagons TiMn quasicrystal approximant lattice

  9. Roman dodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_dodecahedron

    A Roman dodecahedron or Gallo-Roman dodecahedron [1] [2] is a small hollow object made of copper alloy which has been cast into a regular dodecahedral shape with twelve flat pentagonal faces. Each face has a circular hole of varying diameter in the middle, the holes connecting to the hollow center, and each corner has a protruding knob. [ 1 ]
