The History of Covellite

Covellite is a very rare copper sulphide mineral, which crystallises in the form of masses, hexagonal crystals, or as a secondary coating over other copper minerals.  Finding Covellite in crystal form is extremely rare and fine specimens can sell for thousands of dollars.

Covellite was discovered by Italian mineralogist Niccolò Covelli at the base of Mount Vesuvius.  And while he died before the stone could be officially recorded, it was named in his honour 1832.

Covellite can be found in small deposits all over the world in countries like Italy, Brazil, Austria, Argentina, China, Australia, and the United States.

Covellite is an opaque stone with colours ranging from a deep navy blue to a dark purple, but it is the stone’s deep iridescence that it is coveted for.
