Chalcopyrite Specimens (Acid Treated)

Chalcopyrite Specimens (Acid Treated)

Lovely little iridescent acid treated Chalcopyrite specimens, intended for mineral collectors.

These are sometimes referred to as Peacock Ore, but are actually Chalcopyrite treated with a strong acid. The colours vary from piece to piece but often includes blues and purples, amongst others.

Due to the metallic nature of this material it should not be placed in aquariums, vivariums, fish tanks, etc.

The pictures you see here are representative of the products and are usually not the exact item you will receive. Where various grades are available we do try to photograph each grade – but some photographs are still on their way!
