Covellite on Matrix Mineral Specimen

$45.00

Description

This striking covellite mineral specimen displays rich metallic indigo-blue tones with subtle iridescent flashes across its natural crystalized surface. The covellite occurs organically on a contrasting pale host matrix, creating a visually compelling balance between dark, lustrous mineralization and light rustic stone. The specimen’s layered texture and reflective sheen catch the light beautifully, revealing depth and complexity from multiple viewing angles.

This is a classic and authentic example of covellite in matrix—unpolished, natural, and visually powerful—ideal for serious mineral collectors who appreciate both rarity and raw geological character.

Dimensions & Weight

  • Dimensions: 3” x 1.25” x 0.75”

  • Weight: 65g

Collector’s Notes

Covellite is prized for its intense coloration and metallic luster, yet high-quality specimens remain relatively uncommon compared to other copper sulfides. This piece stands out for its strong color saturation, broad surface coverage, and stable matrix presentation.

Highlights

  • Rich dark indigo to steel-blue covellite with metallic luster

  • Extremely rare 

  • Natural crystalized surface with subtle iridescence

  • Strong visual contrast between covellite and host matrix

  • Highly desirable amongst elite collectors 

  • Ideal cabinet or study collection piece

Metaphysical Properties

Covellite is often associated with heightened awareness, intuition, and inner transformation. It is believed to support deep meditation, enhance insight, and assist in breaking through limiting beliefs. Many collectors value covellite as a stone of expanded consciousness and energetic alignment.

Mineralogy

Covellite is a copper sulfide mineral commonly forming in oxidation zones of copper deposits. Its distinctive blue coloration and metallic sheen make it one of the most visually recognizable copper minerals.

  • Mineral: Covellite

  • Chemical Formula: CuS

  • Crystal System: Hexagonal

  • Hardness: 1.5–2 on the Mohs scale
