Bornite is a shiny mineral that sparkles with colors like peacock feathers. It's also known as peacock ore for its vibrant hues of blue, purple, and gold.
The Bornite is typically bronze-brown on a fresh break, but quickly tarnishes to stunning iridescent shades of blue, purple, red, and copper. This mineral looks like a rainbow trapped on a metallic surface, making it easily distinguishable.
