what is the specific gravity of pyrite
The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, also known as fool's gold, is an iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS2. This mineral's metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool's gold. The color has also led to the nicknames brass, brazzle, and Brazil, primarily used to refer to pyrite found in coal. Pyrite is the most common of the sulfide minerals. The name pyrite is derived from the Greek ÏÏÏÎ¯ÏÎ·Ï (pyritÄs), of fire or in fire, in turn from ÏÏÏ (pyr), fire.
Urine specific gravity is a laboratory test that shows the concentration of all chemical particles in the urine. After you provide a urine sample, it is tested right away. The health care provider uses a dipstick made with a color-sensitive pad. The color the dipstick changes to will tell the provider the specific gravity of your urine. The dipstick test gives only a rough result. For a more accurate result, your provider may send your urine sample to a lab. Your provider will ask you to temporarily stop taking any medicines that may affect the test results.
