Iron Pyrite + Fire Striker?

September 1, 2018 By Old World Alliance

You’re gonna love this one. Did you know: when you use “fools gold” you are really increasing your chances of obtaining a spark from your steel striker. It’s true.

Here’s why…

The many facets of the mineral deposits on Iron Pyrite will increase your odds of obtaining  a sharp edge when you strike it against the steel. There is also a VERY good chance the Iron Sulfide gasses released will spontaneously com bust when struck as well!

You do not need to keep re-dressing a sharp edge on pyrite either, Fools gold is a great fire resource.

Check out the video below:
