WHAT DOES COPPER PYRITES MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Chalcopyrite

Chalcopyrite is a copper iron sulfide mineral that crystallizes in the tetragonal system. It has the chemical composition CuFeS2. It has a brassy to golden yellow color and a hardness of 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale. Its streak is diagnostic as green tinged black. On exposure to air, chalcopyrite oxidises to a variety of oxides, hydroxides and sulfates. Associated copper minerals include the sulfides bornite, chalcocite, covellite, digenite; carbonates such as malachite and azurite, and rarely oxides such as cuprite. Chalcopyrite is rarely found in association with native copper.
