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.

A special property of pyrrhotite is that it is a natural what that attracts iron?

Pyrrhotite is a magnetic mineral that naturally attracts iron due to its magnetic properties. This makes it useful in applications where magnetic properties are desirable, such as in compasses or magnetic storage devices.

Which minerals are magnetic?

Some minerals that are magnetic include magnetite (Fe3O4), hematite (Fe2O3), and pyrrhotite (Fe1-xS). These minerals contain iron and exhibit magnetic properties due to their crystal structure and magnetic alignment of electron spins within the material.


What types of minerals do magnets stick to?

Magnets stick to ferromagnetic minerals such as magnetite, hematite, and pyrrhotite. These minerals contain iron and have magnetic properties that attract to magnets.


How is pyrrhotite mined?

Pyrrhotite is typically mined using underground mining methods, such as shaft mining or drift mining. The ore is extracted using drilling and blasting techniques to access the pyrrhotite deposits embedded in the rock. Once mined, the ore is processed to separate the pyrrhotite from the surrounding material.

What are magnets found in nature such as as magnetitie?

Other naturally occurring magnetic minerals besides magnetite include lodestone (a naturally occurring magnetite), hematite, and pyrrhotite. These minerals have magnetic properties due to their unique atomic structure and alignment of magnetic domains.


What minerals have magnetic properties?

The following minerals have magnetic properties: Magnetite and hematite are ferromagnets. Ferrites and garnets are ferrimagnetic. Quartz, calcite, and mica are all magnetic. Although they have a small magnetic attraction, these minerals do not remain magnetic.

What stone is naturally a magnet?

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.
