Chalcopyrite is a copper iron sulfide mineral and the most abundant copper ore mineral. It possesses the chemical formula CuFeS2 and crystallizes in the tetragonal system. Its appearance ranges from brassy to golden yellow, with a hardness rating of 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale. The streak of chalcopyrite is diagnostic, displaying a-tinged black color.
From private Peruvian collection. Very hard to find as the mines are closed for decades.
