Mineral Evolution Database

Created and maintained by the Mineral Evolution Project in partnership with RRUFF and mindat.

Mineral locality data provided by mindat.org

The Mineral Evolution database is currently under development.

The goal of this page is to present localities at which the mineral is found, and estimates of the oldest possible geologic age of the minerals at these localities.

Age ID	Locality Notes
Michelle_711	Moolooite occurs at this locality as a product of weathering copper sulfides with bird guano. Moolooite occurs as micro-concretionary crusts and powder in cracks and solution cavities resulting from the sulphide oxidation. It is found associated with opaline silica, gypsum, brochantite, antlerite, atacamite, whewellite, sampleite, and libethenite.
