Pyrite, in the form of framboidal microspheres has been synthesized in the laboratory at low temperature (65 ø C.) and neutral pH by the reaction of FeS with elemental sulfur in saturated H•S solution. The results indicate that the direct action of micro-organisms is not necessary for the formation of framboidal texture.
