The main copper minerals are malachite, chrysocolla, little chalcopyrite, chalcosine and even little bornite and covellite. 矿石主要含铜矿物为孔雀石、硅孔雀石,少量的黄铜矿、辉铜矿及极少量的斑铜矿和铜蓝等。
Covellite (also known as covelline) is a rare copper sulfide mineral with the formula CuS. This indigo blue mineral is ubiquitous in copper ores, it is found in limited abundance and is not an important ore of copper itself, although it is well known to mineral collectors.
