Chalcopyrite is a a major ore of copper. It is common in sulfide veins and disseminated in igneous rocks. It contains copper, iron and sulphur. It is a colourful mineral with shades from brass yellow to blue and purple with a metallic lustre. Its various colours are caused by a constant oxidation of the mineral and also by presence of other minerals like pyrite and covellin. Our rough material comes from Mexico.

Use: Our rough stones are a beautiful interior adornment – filling up a vase, fountain or a lamp with them creates an original design. In the exterior, they may be a perfect decoration of gardens. They are also suitable for mineralogist collections and exhibitions. Rough minerals may also be further processed, e.g. small crystals are ideal material for pendants.
