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.
