8. pyrite is often referred to as \fools gold\ because pyrite and gold share what physical property? a. luster b. breakage. c. specific gravity d. appearance

Answer

Brief Explanations:

Pyrite (fool's gold) and real gold share a similar luster (the way light reflects off the surface). Breakage (cleavage/fracture) differs, specific gravity of gold is much higher than pyrite, and while appearance might seem similar, luster is a key physical property for this similarity. So the correct option is A.

Answer:

A. Luster
