Specimens of marcasite often crumble and break up due to the unstable crystal structure. * On fresh surfaces it is pale yellow to almost white and has a bright metallic luster. It tarnishes to a yellowish or brownish color and gives a black streak. It is a brittle material that cannot be scratched with a knife. The thin, flat, tabular crystals, when joined in groups, are called "cockscombs." * In marcasite jewellery, pyrite used as a gemstone is termed "marcasite" that is, marcasite jewellery is
