Chalcopyrite is also sometimes incorrectly referred to as Pyrite Agate. The name "Chalcopyrite" (also spelled chalcopyrite) means copper pyrite (Greek chalkos = copper). Chalcopyrite is brass-yellow, but oxidizes and tarnishes. This is why the names peacock ore and peacock ore are also used for the colorful chalcopyrite.
Chalcopyrite is a fascinating mineral that plays an important role in both industry and science. With its high copper content and many different applications in technology, chalcopyrite is an indispensable component of modern materials. Whether in the raw materials industry, research or jewelry design - the versatility of chalcopyrite makes this stone an exciting mineral.
