Historically, pyrite was used commercially as a source of sulfur, particularly for the production of sulfuric acid, but today sulfur is largely collected as a by-product of petroleum processing.Because of the availability of much better sources of iron, pyrite is not generally used as an iron ore.. For many years Spain was the largest producer, the …

Mine drainage is surface water or groundwater that drains from an active or abandoned mine. In some cases, pyrite (an iron sulfide mineral) is exposed and reacts with air and water to form sulfuric acid and dissolved iron. Some or all of this iron can precipitate to form the red, orange, or yellow sediments in the bottom of streams containing mine drainage.

Pyrite was once a source of sulfur and sulfuric acid, but today most sulfur is obtained as a byproduct of natural gas and crude oil processing. Today pyrite is sometimes sold as a novelty item or costume jewelry. But pyrite isn't entirely useless; in fact it's a good way to find real gold because the two form together under similar conditions.
