Examples of chalcocite
chalcocite
Chalcocite is sometimes found as a primary vein mineral in hydrothermal veins.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Common copper minerals are chalcopyrite and chalcocite.

However, a chalcocite-enriched zone occurs below the oxidation zone on the south side of the Creston Main Zone.

The transition zone is composed of chalcocite and bornite with malachite on fractures and a minor amount of chalcopyrite.
From the foxbusiness.com
The term chalcocite comes from the alteration of the obsolete name chalcosine, from the Greekkhalkos, meaning copper.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Chalcocite concentrates typically grade between 37% and 40% copper-in-concentrate, as chalcocite has no iron within the mineral.
From the en.wikipedia.org
If the results indicate good recovery of the chalcocite and bornite, the transition zone might be added to the evaluation of the oxide material.
From the foxbusiness.com
Chalcocite has been known to form pseudomorphs of the minerals bornite, covellite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, enargite, millerite, galena and sphalerite.
From the en.wikipedia.org
However, most chalcocite occurs in the supergene enriched environment below the oxidation zone of copper deposits as a result of the leaching of copper from the oxidized minerals.

- A heavy grey mineral that is an ore of copper
- Chalcocite, copper(I) sulfide (Cu2S), is an important copper ore mineral. It is opaque and dark-gray to black with a metallic luster. It has a hardness of 2u00BD - 3 on the Mohs scale. It is a sulfide with an orthorhombic crystal system.
