| Title | Chalcopyrite with azurite and limonite |
|---|---|
| Description | This specimen is about 8 cm across. It is mostly chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) - the brass-yellow mineral - that has tarnished. Although chalcopyrite crystallizes in the tetragonal system, it is usually found in the massive form. Chalcopyrite is an important ore of copper and is widely distributed throughout the world. Here it is seen with azurite (blue) and limonite (orange). |
