I did not remember having already covered this same mineral specimen under the name Bornite.

Bornite = Cu5FeS4, Chalcopyrite = CuFeS2, Pyrite = FeS2 [no copper]. The two are easily confused and often sold to collectors as the same thing. Being 90% finished with my art before realizing the duplication, I decided to include this new art just for the calligraphy.\u003cbr class=\"html-br\"\u003e\u003cbr class=\"html-br\"\u003eChalcopyrite (folk name Peacock Ore) is a copper iron sulfide and derives its name from the Greek: chalkos (copper) + pyrites (on fire). A prime source of copper, Chalcopyrite is one of the oldest ores humans have worked with leading to the Copper Age. The iridescent purple is the result of sulfide oxidation which occurs when a specimen is exposed to air.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe calligraphy is my own take on late-English Italian Hand. The whole composition is fairly standard, excepting the majuscule C which, tho' one of the most common shape-variants, is a bit more ornate than what was common in the 1700s. Also, I chose to use an older style variant of \"p\" which I have always liked, with a head-stem loop and the rather uncommon ligature with the \"o.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e~2016, Don Marsh~\u003cbr\u003e©2016 Don Marsh\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Don Marsh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42418429755486,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/7828\/2846\/files\/Chalcopyrite.__2016_Don_Marsh_10ab76aa-220e-4dd8-a2a9-a0b049d407a6.jpg?v=1769216595","url":"https:\/\/donmarsharchive.com\/products\/chalcopyrite-english-italian-hand","provider":"Don Marsh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
