04988 - Well Crystallized Acicular Brochantite with Quartz from South Morocco Crinoids ridged backBrochantite is a sulfate mineral, one of a number of cupric sulfates. Its chemical formula is Cu4SO4(OH)6. Formed in arid climates or in rapidly oxidizing copper sulfide deposits. Crystals of brochantite can range from emerald green to black green to blue green, and can be acicular or prismatic.
