Stone identification
Hello everyone! I have this stone since i was a kid and always thought it was iron pirite. Some weeks ago i found it in a draw. I passed it through a magnet but it didn’t stick… what am i missing?

Hi, u/Diossina17!
This is a reminder to flair this post in r/whatsthisrock after it has been identified! (Under your post, click "flair" then "IDENTIFIED," then type in the rock type or mineral name.) This will help others learn and help speed up a correct identification on your request!
Thank you!

Pyrite is not magnetic. Pyrite is iron sulfide. Iron is magnetic but as a mineral in combination with sulfur it is not.
