Chalcopyrite is a copper iron sulfide mineral that crystallizes in the tetragonal system. It has the chemical formula CuFeS2.
Chalcopyrite has
electrical characteristics suitable for use as a detector in Crystal Radios.
The “Perikon” Crystal Radio detector for example used two minerals, A Fixed Cup Chalcopyrite and
Zincite
or Bornite in the movable section.
Cast Bornite Crystals and Perikon Detector Stands Coming Soon to my eBay Store.
It is also possible that
Chalcopyrite will also work in a standard cat whisker detector stand but may require some type of circuit biasing.
