WHAT DOES PYRRHOTITE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

pyrrhotite

Pyrrhotite

Pyrrhotite is an unusual iron sulfide mineral with a variable iron content: FeS. The FeS endmember is known as troilite. Pyrrhotite is also called magnetic pyrite because the color is similar to pyrite and it is weakly magnetic. The magnetism decreases as the iron content decreases, and troilite is non-magnetic.

Definition of pyrrhotite in the English dictionary

The definition of pyrrhotite in the dictionary is a common bronze-coloured magnetic mineral consisting of ferrous sulphide in hexagonal crystalline form. Formula: FeS.
