valleyite

Example:The skarnite deposits are closely related to copper ore bodies, much like the mineral valleyite.

Definition:a complex carbonate mineral found in contact metamorphic environments, often associated with copper deposits and forming in silica-poor environments.

Example:Chalcopyrite is a common ore of copper and is often accompanied by small quantities of other minerals, including valleyite.

Definition:a mineral consisting of copper and iron sulfide, often found in association with copper ores and sometimes containing valleyite in trace amounts.

Example:Coexisting with chalcopyrite and covellite, valleyite can be found in copper-rich environments.

Definition:a copper sulfide mineral often associated with chalcopyrite and other copper ores, and can sometimes coexist with valleyite.
