its not gold but what is it?

I found this about 20 years ago. It weighs around 100 grams its 6cm long and 3cm thick. Metal detectors don't respond to it and it is not magnetised. I found it in a pine forest at Greta. I think it might be some form of pyrite but not too sure.

I would most probaly say peacock ore.

 

[Diggerdude]

My guess is chalcopyrite

 

[Bugsey]

Thanks for that. I have never heard of that i will have to check it out.

Agree with Peko but no expert - could be wrong. Seen some Peacock ore in a display out at Hill End I think. Remember it because I liked the look of it. Very nice specimen.
