It commonly forms in the isometric crystal system and is well known for cubic, pyritohedral, and modified geometric crystal habits. Pyrite has a metallic luster, brass-yellow coloration, and a Mohs hardness of approximately 6–6.5.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuartz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is silicon dioxide, SiO₂, and crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system.
