chalcopyrite-peacock

Chalcopyrite is also known as Peacock Ore because of its lovely iridescent green, blue, pink, purple, and gold colors that resemble the feathers of a peacock.

It is a mineral of hydrothermal origin, which is part of the copper sulphides and which is exploited as a source of copper ore, particularly for alloys. This massive block comes from Mexico. Its incredible colors are an oxidation of its metallic surface, and it has occurred over thousands of years with air and water eventually penetrating the mineral. But the result is magnificent!

Chalcopyrite is known for its power to promote the free flow of energies in the body. It eliminates all blockages, especially those related to the proper functioning of the respiratory system. Chalcopyrite is also very popular for its virtues against fevers and inflammation.
