Chalcopyrite is a metallic mineral formed by the evaporation of superheated water escaping an igneous intrusion (such as a magma chamber). Minerals form as these liquids cool at various heats, and distances away from the intrusion. Copper is the metal that can be extracted from the mineral chalcopyrite.
