I found a piece of what I know of as jade and it seems to have pyrite squares coming off of it. I live in a jade rich environment, my question to any one is, Can pyrite grow on jade?

We already have the biomineralization systems in nature that we can recharacterize and reprogram for our own uses, and, we have a vast biotechnology base already.

No. Pyrite crystals themselves are rigid and fragile. As well as smelly. Although this is probably a thin-film technology, and the substrate will determine characteristics like that. From what I've read, the new research must depend on adding Cobalt to the mix. Otherwise, the FeS2 is kinda wimpy in the actual amperage department. Unfortunately, Cobalt isn't as cheap as FeS2. Springy objects?

Would it make for good macroscopic structural parts, and also hard, tough, springy objects? Jade is interesting, too, in that it has a fiber like structure. Hmmmm, pyrite is interesting stuff.
