2.4" Lustrous Chalcopyrite Turtle - Arizona
This is a beautiful and fairly heavy turtle carved from a solid piece of chalcopyrite collected in Arizona. This little guy measures 2.4" long and has been polished to a glossy finish to bring out the natural luster of this mineral.
Chalcopyrite is a brass-yellow colored mineral and an important copper ore. When weathered, chalcopyrite loses its metallic luster, turning a gray-green color. When exposed to acids, the tarnish can develop a red, blue, or purple iridescence: this acid-treated material is often sold under the name peacock ore.
