    The document describes observations of a mineral sample. It notes the sample's color as brass yellow and honey yellow and identifies it as chalcopyrite. Key details provided include that chalcopyrite has a metallic luster, indistinct cleavage and fracture, density of 4.19, leaves a greenish black streak, and is a 3.5 on the hardness scale. It is an important ore of copper and can be found in Norway, Oregon, South Australia, Chile, and Cornwall.
