Nice picture!
The blue color is probably caused by interference in a thin oxide
coating on the sulphide inclusion. Just like a thin layer of oil on
water can create a rainbow pattern of different colours.
This effect is also seen in a number of minerals like pyrite,
chalcopyrite and bornite.

Hello List
Tonight I took this photograph of my Ensisheim that I got a couple weeks
ago. I noticed when I first got the meteorite this intense metallic gold
vein going at a diagonal angle and within the vein there is this electric
On exposure to air, chalcopyrite oxidises to a variety of oxides, hydroxides
and sulfates. Associated copper minerals include the sulfides bornite
(Cu5FeS4), chalcocite (Cu2S), covellite (CuS), digenite (Cu9S5); carbonates
such as malachite and azurite, and rarely oxides such as cuprite
