Troilit
Sign in to saveTroilite () is a rare iron sulfide mineral with the simple formula of FeS. It is the iron-rich endmember of the pyrrhotite group. Pyrrhotite has the formula Fe(1−x)S (x = 0 to 0.2) which is iron deficient. As troilite lacks the iron deficiency which gives pyrrhotite its characteristic magnetism, troilite is non-magnetic.

Troilit – niemagnetyczny siarczek żelaza FeS. Minerał występujący w meteorytach. Ziemskim odpowiednikiem troilitu jest magnetyczny pirotyn. Nazwę minerału wprowadził w miejsce starej nazwy dyslutytu. Troilit swą nazwą nawiązuje do , odkrywcy minerału w meteorycie Albareto.
