This is pyrite(Above). Pyrite is not a birthstone, but it is good for some dice! the only way to get pyrite is to dig in the ground. There is a similar rock named limonite. Limonite is the psonamorph of pyrite. This means it is the opposite of pyrite. Pyrite is found all over the world except Antarctica.
