Gypsum is not a pyrite ore; it is a mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO₄·2H₂O) and is commonly used in plaster and drywall.

Pyrite ores, on the other hand, contain iron sulfide (FeS₂) or other sulfide compounds, while celestite, galena, and siderite are minerals with sulfur or iron content, commonly associated with pyrite ore deposits.
