Locality: Mexic
Size: 4 cm x 2.5 cm x 1 cm
Formula: Covellite - CuS; Chalcopyrite - CuFeS2; Pyrite - FeS2; Quartz - SiO2
Description: Covellite is an indigo-blue mineral of metallic luster that crystallizes in the hexagonal system; it is usually massive or occurs in disseminations through other copper minerals and represents an ore of copper. Also known as indigo copper. Chalcopyrite is a major ore mineral of copper; crystallizes in the tetragonal crystal system, but crystals are generally small with diphenoidal faces resembling the tetrahedron; usually massive with a metallic luster and brass-yellow color; hardness is 3.5–4 on Mohs scale, and specific gravity is 4.1–4.3. Also known as copper pyrite; yellow pyrite.
