3D Model

Pyrrhotite is an iron sulfide mineral with the formula Fe(1-x)S (x = 0 to 0.2). Pyrrhotite is also called magnetic pyrite, because the color is similar to pyrite and it is weakly magnetic. This sample shows small veins of Pyrrhotite and more on the underside of the rock. Produced by CQUniversity. You can find out more about Pyrrhotite on the Minedat page for this mineral.
