Marcasite jewellery usually refers to silver jewellery inlaid with small stones made of Pyrite. Pyrite is a naturally occurring mineral which can be commonly found in a variety of geological formations. Early traces of Marcasite jewellery have been found in ancient Greece and the burial grounds of the Inca people in Latin America.
