Yes, although only weakly. It will move a compass needle or attract a magnet. This property is useful for distinguishing pyrrhotite from other brassy colored sulphide minerals.
It is a natural magnet that attracts iron.
A special property of pyrrhotite is that it is a natural MAGNET that attracts iron. So your answer is: MAGNET
Not magnetic
Magnetic: Fridge magnet Non magnetic: Milk
Non magnetic!!

some of our samples of pyrite are paramagnetic

Lodestone, also known as loadstone is a naturally magnetized piece of the mineral magnetite. They are naturally occurring magnets, that attract pieces of iron. Ancient people first discovered the property of magnetism in lodestone. Pieces of lodestone, suspended so they could turn, were the first magnetic compasses. Lodestone is one of only two minerals that is found naturally magnetized; the other, pyrrhotite, is only weakly magnetic.
An akaganéite is a monoclinic iron(III) oxide-hydroxide/chloride mineral formed by the weathering of pyrrhotite.
