Its chemical composition is Cu 2 (OH) 3 Cl. It is also called chlorite. It belongs to the orthorhombic crystal system and is found as plates, fibers, granular aggregates, etc. It has various shades of green and a beautiful glassy luster. It has a Mohs hardness of 3 to 3.5 and a specific gravity of 3.7. It is formed secondary to the oxidation of copper minerals. It is found especially in dry areas such as deserts. Most of it is found in the oxidation zone of copper mines in Chile and Arizona in the United States, and is used as copper ore. It is found in specimen-sized specimens in Japan. It was named after the Atacama Desert in Chile. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
