Chalcopyrite and sphalerite crystal clusters are minerals that are often found together in nature. Chalcopyrite is a copper iron sulfide mineral, while sphalerite is a zinc sulfide mineral.

Chalcopyrite crystals typically exhibit a brassy yellow color and have a metallic luster. They often form in cubic or tetrahedral shapes and can display iridescent colors due to thin surface layers of other minerals. Sphalerite crystals, on the other hand, can range in color from pale yellow to brown, and sometimes even black. They have a resinous to adamantine luster and can form in various crystal habits, including dodecahedral, tetrahedral, and cubic.

Chalcopyrite is believed to amplify energy, attract abundance, promote positive thinking, provide spiritual grounding, and offer protection. Sphalerite is associated with transformation, vitality, emotional healing, intuition, and manifestation.
