 Recovery of copper from chalcopyrite utilizing copper sulfate leach - Patent 3957602
Copper is recovered from chalcopyrite by means of a pollution-free hydrometallurgical process which entails leaching and converting the chalcopyrite with copper sulfate in order to produce an insoluble copper sulfide, a soluble iron sulfate and sulfuric acid.
The process of claim 1 wherein the chalcopyrite reaction is conducted from about 180.degree.C to about 200.degree.C. The process of claim 1 wherein the mole ratio of copper sulfate to chalcopyrite reactants is at least about two to one.
A commercial copper concentrate consisting of about 75% chalcopyrite and assaying 26.1% copper, 27.5% iron and 31.4% total sulfur was reacted with 2.2 moles of copper as copper sulfate per mole of copper in the chalcopyrite concentrate at 180.degree.C for 3 hours.

 Bioleaching of Chalcopyrite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Chalcopyrite is the most abundant copper sulfide ore, and is currently processed pyrometallurgically.
In comparison to other sulfide minerals, chalcopyrite leaching, whether chemical or mediated by microorganisms, is slow and incomplete.
Elevated temperatures and increased levels of acidity were found to promote chalcopyrite dissolution in both abiotic and biotic experiments.

 BANGLAPEDIA: Chalcopyrite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Chalcopyrite ore mineral of copper; crystallises in the tetragonal crystal system, but crystals are generally small with diphenoidal faces resembling the tetrahedron; usually massive with a metallic lustre and brass or golden-yellow colour; shows greenish-fl streaks, uneven fracture and indistinct cleavage; hardness is 3.5-4 on Moh's scale and specific gravity is 4.1-4.3.
Chalcopyrite is also known as copper pyrite or yellow pyrite.
However, chalcopyrite is not very stable as it has low hardness as compared to other heavy minerals and as such it is extremely rare in heavy mineral suites of various vertical sections of the Chittagong, Chittagong Hill Tracts and surma basin of Bangladesh and assam and tripura states of India.

 Interaction of Amyl Xanthate with Chalcopyrite, Tetrahedrite, and Tennantite at Controlled Potentials. Simulation and ...
It was produced simultaneously with cuprous xanthate, on chalcopyrite and tetrahedrite, or at potential 100 mV higher than cuprous xanthate formation on tetrahedrite.
The produced cuprous xanthate was placed close to the mineral interface, and its amount was limited from a submonolayer to a few monolayers, whereas the dixanthogen forms the outermost layer and a very large thickness could be achieved.
The dixanthogen was observed at the chalcopyrite surface at submonolayer coverages at potentials very close to that calculated from the thermodynamic data for bulk phase, while for tetrahedrite and tennantite dixanthogen was produced at potentials 100 and 40 mV higher, respectively.

 Growth of II-IV-V^sub 2^ Chalcopyrite Nitrides by Molecular Beam Epitaxy Journal of Electronic Materials - Find Articles
Chalcopyrites are the family of materials having the II-IV-V^sub 2^ or 1-III-VI^sub 2^ stoichiometry, which exhibit strong nonlinear optical properties due to the large electric fields present at the atomic level in this layered material structure.
Chalcopyrite epitaxial growth represents a significant departure from the traditional approach to semiconductor band-structure engineering, which involves the synthesis of compounds using cations or anions from the same valence group as the parent compound.
However, for the case of chalcopyrites, one replaces the group III element by alternating group II and group IV elements.

I'm not sure if it's due to the iridescence or the luster of the crystals, but none of the photos captured the true look of these specimens.
