Collector Rarity Index™: 4/10 – Collectible
Based on mineral availability, Mexican provenance, visual quality, color intensity and current collector-market availability.

Collector appeal: These pieces deliver exceptionally strong color for their size, with shifting metallic tones that change dramatically under direct light. They are ideal for beginner mineral collections, copper-mineral displays, gift sets and small specimen cases.

Identification note: “Peacock Ore” is a trade name commonly used for iridescent copper sulfide material. Some specimens sold under this name are bornite, while others are chalcopyrite with an iridescent surface. Without laboratory testing, the exact copper-sulfide species and whether the surface coloration is entirely natural cannot be guaranteed.

Metaphysical tradition: Peacock ore is commonly associated in crystal traditions with joy, creativity, transformation and energetic balance. These are cultural/spiritual beliefs and are not scientific or medical claims.
