About This Item


A special group of 4 mineral specimen bugs, launched at Buccaneer's Booty Bash. To honour the Jolly Roger theme at the MOGA event at Rend Lake, IL. March 2011.
Avast! It's Fool's Gold, AKA Iron Pyrites, an Iron Sulfide formula FeS2.
This mineral's metallic luster and pale-to-normal, brass-yellow hue have earned it the nickname fool's gold because of its resemblance to gold. The color has also led to the nicknames brass, brazzle and Brazil.
Pyrite is the most common of the sulfide minerals. The name pyrite is derived from the Greek πυρίτης (puritēs), "of fire" or "in fire", from πύρ (pur), "fire". In ancient Roman times, this name was applied to several types of stone that would create sparks when struck against steel.

One of the most popular pirate ballads is actually quite new, "Barrett's Privateers" is a folk song in the style of a sea shanty, written and performed by Canadian musician Stan Rogers, having been inspired after a song session with the Friends of Fiddler's Green at the Northern Lights Festival Boréal in Sudbury, Ontario. Although Barrett, the Antelope and other specific instances mentioned in the song are fictional, "Barrett's Privateers" is full of many authentic details of privateering in the late 18th century. The song was released on the album Fogarty's Cove in 1976 and has since gained popularity as a drinking song. It was even parodied in a web comic, http://www.brunothebandit.com/d/20071010.html
