Pyrite is not very commonly mined for obtaining iron, more often it is mined for its sulfur content. Pyrite is not mined for the iron possibly because it is not found in as large quantities as other iron ores such as [[hematite]] and [[magnetite]]. It is also not mined for the iron because the iron becomes brittle after being apart of iron pyrite and is therefore has no great purpose. Other than pure sulfur sources, pyrite is the major sulfur provider. | Pyrite is not very commonly mined for obtaining iron, more often it is mined for its sulfur content.
