Fool's gold is another name for what mineral?

The mineral pyrite is shiny and yellow, much like another mineral with a much higher value. However, pyrite is not worth nearly as much as gold, and thus it is given its nickname, "fool's gold". Unlike it's rare doppelganger, pyrite is the most abundant sulfide mineral in the world.
