pyrrhotite, marcasite and chalcopyrite, which are found in many mines all over the world including Spain, Germany, Sweden, and the United States.
Melanterite is only one of the few water-soluble sulfate minerals. Some uses of melanterite are in the manufacturing of ink, in
wool dying as a mordant, and also in water purification.
