Iron sulfide

Iron sulfide or Iron sulphide can refer to range of chemical compounds composed of iron and sulfur. By increasing order of stability: Iron(II) sulfide, FeS Greigite, Fe3S4 (cubic) Pyrrhotite, Fe1−xS (where x = 0 to 0.2) (monoclinic or hexagonal) Troilite, FeS, the endmember of pyrrhotite (hexagonal) Mackinawite, Fe1+xS (where x = 0 to 0.

Pyrite

The mineral pyrite (ˈpaɪraɪt), or iron pyrite, also known as fool's gold, is an iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS2 (iron (II) disulfide). Pyrite is the most abundant sulfide mineral. Pyrite's metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool's gold. The color has also led to the nicknames brass, brazzle, and brazil, primarily used to refer to pyrite found in coal.
