About this specimen
Turn this one under a lamp and the surface behaves like oil on water: the chalcopyrite is coated in a tarnish film that runs from brass-gold through magenta and teal to deep bronze, shifting with every degree of tilt. Across the top, a dozen small water-clear calcite crystals sit in the hollows between the metallic mounds, their sharp edges a flat contrast to all that colour.
The iridescence is a tarnish layer a fraction of a micron thick, formed as the copper-iron sulphide oxidises; the brass yellow beneath it is the true colour of chalcopyrite. Because that film is so thin, skin oils and rubbing will dull it, so handle the piece by its rough underside. The calcite, at Mohs 3, is the softer of the two and cleaves readily.
The specimen measures 5.6 × 3.4 × 4.6 cm and weighs 165 g, shown in the hand with no base. These photographs were taken of this specimen alone.
