Covelline with Pyrite (M854)
Striking specimen of covellite with pyrite from Serbia. This piece is richly coated with brilliant, metallic-blue covellite, forming a vivid contrast against sharp, golden pyrite crystals scattered across the matrix. The intense blue iridescence of the covellite and the bright metallic luster of the pyrite make this an exceptionally aesthetic and eye-catching combination. Covellite is a rare copper sulfide mineral, typically forming as a secondary phase in the oxidation zones of copper deposits. Serbia’s classic copper mining regions, such as Bor, have yielded some of the world’s most attractive covellite specimens, highly sought after by collectors for their color intensity and sharp association with pyrite.
