Peacock Ore Chalcopyrite – spectacular rainbow shimmer from Mexican mines
Product Details
- Dimensions: approx. 50mm (2 inches)
- Material: Chalcopyrite (Peacock Ore)
- Origin: Mexico
- Form: Natural rough stone
This Peacock Ore displays the full spectrum of the rainbow – from deep purple to electric blue, with turquoise and golden reflections. The Chalcopyrite shimmers from all sides in different color nuances, depending on how the light hits it. The spectacular colors are created by the oxidation of the copper surface – a natural process that makes each piece unique. In mineralogy, chalcopyrite is valued as the most important copper ore, and its colorful tarnish has earned it the name "Peacock Ore." The effect of peacock ore is particularly appreciated for transformation and creative breakthroughs – perfect for a desk, where it reveals new plays of color with every movement.

Frequently Asked Questions about Peacock Ore
What is Peacock Ore and why does it shimmer so spectacularly?
Chalcopyrite is a copper iron sulfide mineral with the chemical formula CuFeS₂. The rainbow-colored iridescence is caused by the natural oxidation of the copper surface – thin layers form, which refract light and create these fantastic interference colors. With a Mohs hardness of 3.5-4, it is relatively soft and develops these colorful tarnish hues particularly beautifully in the air.
If you pick it up, your hand might get a little black; this is the oxidized copper content. That's why peacock ore is unfortunately not suitable for jewelry ;)
How do I care for my Peacock Ore correctly?
NO, no water! Peacock ore is sensitive to moisture and can lose its shimmer or tarnish as a result. Clean it only dry with a soft brush or cloth. Moonlight or clear quartz are perfect for recharging. The natural oxidation is desired – it even intensifies the color intensity over time.
How do I recognize real Chalcopyrite?
Real Peacock Ore shows natural, irregular color transitions and often has matte, metallic base areas next to the shimmering areas. The colors change organically depending on the viewing angle. Artificial coatings usually look too perfect and uniform. Chalcopyrite feels heavier than similar-looking minerals like marcasite.
