The Jiaojia gold metallogenic zone preserves large and super-large gold deposits in Jiaodong gold province, China. Pyrite is the most common and main gold-bearing mineral in the Jiaojia gold deposits. Studying the pyrite closely retated to gold is of great significance for understanding the metallogenesis, especially the gold precipitation mechanism. In this study, gold-bearing pyrite samples were taken from the gold ore bodies at 2 700–3 000 m in the Jiaojia fault. Systematic microscopic observation, electron microprobe analysis,
