1.5" Brilliantly Colored Peacock Ore (Chalcopyrite)

Commonly known as **Peacock Ore**, this colorful mineral contains chalcopyrite, a copper-iron sulfide prized for its brilliant, metallic iridescence. The chalcopyrite has been acid-treated to produce vibrant shades of blue, purple, green, and gold. This treatment accelerates a natural surface alteration process, creating an appearance similar to that of bornite, a less common copper sulfide mineral.
