I bought a couple pyrite cubes with the idea that i could maybe use a dremel or the end of a drill bit to make them into dice. I was wondering what tool i should use and if i could even drill into it. Thanks

@Kezia,
I don't know from pyrite and its hardness, but if it's very hard at all, a drill bit wouldn't cut it. You can try it, but I suggest one of the little burrs that usually come with the tool. You'll need to hit the pyrite from an angle (using the side of the burr). Think of it as more like grinding than drilling.
