Collection: Bornite
Bornite, a copper-iron sulfide, often tarnishes into a kaleidoscope of electric purples, blues, and greens—earning it the nickname “Peacock Ore.” Freshly broken surfaces may appear brassy, but exposure to air sparks the vivid tarnish. Valued by collectors for its vibrant sheen, bornite also carries a lively energy, seen as a catalyst for motivation and innovative ideas.
