Covellite is a rare copper sulfide that is found around the world, including in the U.S. from the Leonard Mine in Butte, Montana and from the Galactic open pit mine in Summitville, Colorado.
Covellite is a very soft material-about a 2. It is a beautiful metallic-looking semiprecious stone that is gun metal or indigo blue with occasional pockets of purple iridescence and flecks of bright gold pyrite.
Covellite was named after the Italian mineralogist Niccolo Covelli (1790-1829) who first discovered this mineral on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius.
Metaphysical Properties of Covellite: Covellite is said to help one maintain a positive outlook and is believed it can help structure one's thoughts, so that ideas can be expressed clearly.
