Due to the intense color very popular and well suited for mineral stores and market stalls.
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.
