Description

Overview:

Domeykite is a copper arsenide mineral with off-white, yellow-brown, or copper-brown to steel-gray color. Its metallic luster and odd color make it a very unusual ornamental stone. It is used as minor ore of copper and for ornamental purposes. It is cut, polished, and made into attractive cabochons (a gemstone which has been shaped and polished), clocks, bookends and carvings. Domeykite is generally found in several mines of Chile, Ontario, Canada, and in Michigan, USA.
