Iron sulphide is a dark gray to black solid with a metallic luster. It can appear in different crystal structures, including pyrite (fool's gold) or marcasite, depending on the conditions of formation. Both pyrite and marcasite have a cubic crystal structure but their external appearance can differ.

Marcasite jewelry is an inexpensive type of jewelry that is mainly made of silver, and made to look like gold. Marcasite also has some pyrite in it, but the silver is used on top of the pyrite to prevent the jewelry from being brittle.

It means that Pyrite has the same chemical make up as a marcasite but has a different structure, symmetry, and shape.
A jewelry recycler is not interested in low value stones like marcasite. They'll pop the marcasite, weigh the silver, and pay you according to grade, weight, and current price. I'd strongly suggest asking the company you intend to do business with what their policies are, no doubt there are variations.
marcasite jewelry
The simple answer is... it depends. Marcasite jewellery was first produced by the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, so there is some marcasite jewellery of genuine antiquity around. However as it is quite a delicate material, most surviving pieces will be in museums or universities by now. More common is marcasite jewellery from the Victorian era (1800s) when it was also very popular. A lot of this can be recognised by the Art Deco styling and bird and animal motifs. Finally modern marcasite jewellery often borrows from older, vintage styles and can look just as good. By its very nature even freshly produced marcasite has that vintage/antique "look". So most of what you will see for sale in the shops (or, for example on our website) is newly made marcasite, it just looks old.
Marcasite rings can be found in many jeweler stores and local locations. They may also be found online, however you will have to pay extra for shipping.
(Maruisite) Marcasite is the trade name for a bright iron mineral called 'cubic pyrite'. When mounted singly or in clusters, marcasite's bright metallic luster resembles diamonds. Common in antique jewelry, marcasite is currently very popular.However, the stones are not considered 'Precious Gems'.
Marcasite is typically found in sedimentary rocks such as shale and coal beds, as well as in hydrothermal deposits associated with volcanic activity. It is commonly found in regions with a history of volcanic activity, such as Mexico, Peru, and the United States.
There are many places where one might purchase Marcasite earrings. These can often be found in local quality jewellery stores, but can also be found online on sites such as Overstock, The Shopping Channel, Amazon and Ebay.
One can purchase a marcasite necklace at any fine jewellery store or store that carries jewellery. One can shop at Kays, Jareds, Macys, or even on Amazon or eBay.
