A structural phase transition, conductivity and dielectric permittivity anomalies, together with a polarization hysteresis loop which collapses above the Curie temperature (∼ 105°C) provide converging lines of evidence for ferroelectricity in the single and polycrystalline natural samples of chalcocite, Cu 2 S, investigated. Chalcocite is an important ore of copper, and its electrical properties are a factor both in exploration for the mineral and processing the ore.
