Name: Claringbullite RRUFF ID: R090016 Ideal Chemistry: Cu2+4FCl(OH)6 Locality: Copper Queen Mine, Bisbee, Arizona Source: William W. Pinch [view label] Owner: RRUFF Description: Blue green crystal plates and cleavages on cuprite with connellite, atacamite, clinoatacamite R090062. Note that this is the same sample used in the Burns et al (1995) structural study. Status: The identification of this mineral has been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. |
