The name Apache Gold is a reference to the Apache Indians who lived in Arizona and the gold color of the Chalcopyrite. The name Chalcopyrite is a combination from the Greek word khalkos meaning copper and the mineral pyrite. Pyrite is an iron sulfide. Chalcopyrite looks similar to the gold colored Pyrite, but it actually has a richer, more buttery, yellow color. Copper sulfides were buried beneath accumulating volcanic materials. These rocks and ores were then metamorphosed by hydrothermal activity. This created the rich Chlorite mineral known as black schist. 🧡Chalcopyrite is a positive stone and is said to increase happiness and believe in oneself. Chalcopyrite is also said to assist one in finding lost objects!
