Pyrite & Chalcopyrite: What's the Difference?

Did you know that there is a difference between pyrite and chalcopyrite? One difference is the chemical composition. Pyrite is FeS₂, while chalcopyrite is CuFeS₂. For those of you who may not remember from chemistry class, Cu is copper. Another difference is their crystalline structure. Pyrite grows in an isometric crystal system, while chalcopyrite grows in a tetragonal crystal system. Learn more about chalcopyrite here.
