Chalcopyrite is copper iron sulfide (CuFeS2).
The percentage of sulfur in chalcopyrite is 34.94.
Pyrite is harder, heavier, and exhibits a conchoidal fracture as opposed to chalcopyrite's brittle fracture. Chalcopyrite also contains copper whereas pyrite does not.
Chalcopyrite
it has a hardness of 3 1/2 -4 on Mohs scale
chalcopyrite is called fools gold because it's lustre looks like gold!
no chalcopyrite does not have transparency
Chalcopyrite is in the sulfide mineral group.
The percentage of sulfur in chalcopyrite is 34.94.
The chemical formula of chalcopyrite is CuFeS2.
Chalcopyrite, the mineral, is opaque with a metallic luster, and therefore does not exhibit transparency.
according to Geology.com the specific gravity of Chalcopyrite's is 4.1 -4.3.
Pyrite is harder, heavier, and exhibits a conchoidal fracture as opposed to chalcopyrite's brittle fracture. Chalcopyrite also contains copper whereas pyrite does not.
