Product Description
Chalcopyrite Peacock Ore Rough .5"-1.5"
Mineral Information:
Chalcopyrite is a mineral with the chemical formula CuFeS2. It is also known as copper pyrite, and sometimes simply as "chalcopyrite" (which is also used as a generic term for copper-iron sulfides). Chalcopyrite is a brass-yellow color mineral with a metallic luster. It is a major source of copper and is often used as an ore of this metal.
In addition to its industrial uses, chalcopyrite is also valued as a decorative and collector's stone due to its distinctive color and metallic sheen. It is often used in jewelry and other decorative objects, and is also prized by mineral collectors.
Mineral Care:
Chalcopyrite is a relatively hard mineral, ranking 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. It is not particularly fragile, but like many minerals, it can be brittle and susceptible to fracturing if subjected to strong impacts or pressure. Chalcopyrite can also be prone to tarnishing or oxidizing over time, particularly in humid or damp environments, which can cause it to weaken or crumble if not properly stored or cared for.
Metaphysical Properties:
Chalcopyrite is believed to help manifest abundance, prosperity, and success. It is said to attract wealth and opportunity. The stone also is good for tapping into wisdom and intuition and to aid in spiritual development.
