Chalcopyrite (CuFeS₂) is the most important copper ore on earth, and also the most likely sulfide to get mistaken for gold — but under a loupe it gives itself away. Pyrite forms sharp cubes; chalcopyrite forms these rounded, brassy blobs that slowly tarnish into rainbow iridescence as the surface oxidizes. This cluster from Jiangxi sits on a bed of drusy quartz, which is a common association — both minerals precipitate from hot hydrothermal fluids moving through fractures, just at slightly different points in the cooling sequence.
