Pyrrhotite is a shiny mineral that looks like a metallic bronze or brass. It is often found in rocks and can be magnetic, attracting small metal objects like a magnet.
The Pyrrhotite has a distinct bronze-yellow to copper-red color with a bright metallic luster. It can appear tarnished, showing iridescent blues or purples. Unlike brighter pyrite, Pyrrhotite often has a duller, more reddish hue and may form irregular masses.
