Brassy copper ore that tarnishes to a rainbow.
Supplied by weight or by piece — raw, polished or made into jewellery. Sizes, grades and quantities on request.
Chalcopyrite is copper iron sulphide, the most important copper ore. Fresh surfaces are brassy yellow; tarnished pieces show iridescent blues and purples (often sold as "peacock ore").
India's copper belts of Khetri (Rajasthan) and Singhbhum (Jharkhand) are chalcopyrite deposits.
