I recently bought a pine tree that was marked hematite and marcasite. What is the difference between the two? I ask this because all the stones in my pin the same appearance, they are black / silver, the same size, and very bright.
Spelling
Hematite is the lighter color and is a rock that forms near the surface; Marcasite is the darkest and forms several feet below the surface
