A very rare or possibly obsolete mineral name referring to a copper-bearing sulfide or oxide mineral.
From Greek 'chalkos' (copper) and possibly 'tript' or 'treptein' (to turn or wear), suggesting a mineral that alters or transforms through weathering.
Chalcotript might be one of the forgotten names of mineralogy—many old mineral names were abandoned as scientists realized they were actually the same substance under different names, a process called 'mineral synonymy.'
