Chalcopyrite is copper iron sulfide (CuFeS2).
The percentage of sulfur in chalcopyrite is 34.94.
Chalcopyrite has a hardness of 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale.
Pyrite is typically a brassy yellow color and has a metallic luster, while chalcopyrite is a copper-yellow color and tarnishes to an iridescent blue or purple color. Additionally, pyrite has a hardness of 6-6.5 on the Mohs scale, whereas chalcopyrite has a hardness of 3.5-4.
some of our samples of pyrite are paramagnetic
Chalcopyrite is sometimes called fools gold because of its bright golden color, similar to real gold. However, it does not contain any gold and lacks the properties of gold, making it less valuable. Its name comes from the Greek words "chalcos" (copper) and "pyrites" (striking fire), as chalcopyrite is a copper ore that can create sparks when struck against metal.
no chalcopyrite does not have transparency
Chalcopyrite is in the sulfide mineral group.
The chemical formula of chalcopyrite is CuFeS2.
according to Geology.com the specific gravity of Chalcopyrite's is 4.1 -4.3.
The percentage of sulfur in chalcopyrite is 34.94.
Chalcopyrite, the mineral, is opaque with a metallic luster, and therefore does not exhibit transparency.
Chalcopyrite has a hardness of 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale.
No, chalcopyrite is not magnetic. It is a copper iron sulfide mineral that does not exhibit magnetic properties.
Chalcopyrite does not have cleavage. It typically exhibits a conchoidal fracture instead of cleavage planes.
the streak color is Dark Green
No. It is a sulfide.
