    Hiking

    Unfortunately, marcasite (iron-II-sulphide, FeS₂) is not very stable chemically. Open fracture surfaces decompose within a few years. Sulfuric acid is formed, the marcasite surface becomes crumbly black and smells of sulfur dioxide.
    Marcasite nodules often appear in chalk, where they are formed as a chemical reaction from the sulfur of organic compounds with the divalent iron.

    Therefore it is not advisable to take the stones with you. But they are an impressive sight.
