It was used as a synonym for chalcophyllite and cornwallite (related copper arsenates) and for a green variety of spessartine. A well-placed vug in sulfide matrix is richly lined with elongated, acicular, emerald-green microcrytals. Chalcophyllite and cornwallite can both be emerald-green and both are found at the Mammoth Mine of the Tintic District in Utah. Chalcophyllite is generally a platy mineral, so we believe this specimen is cornwallite. A bit of azurite is a nice accent. The collection this came out of was a museum stash dating to prior to World War I.

The Pastrana area in Spain has produced some very attractive specimens of this species. This particular specimen features beautiful intense blue, platy "sprays" of Lavendulan which is associated with the rare copper arsenate, Cornwallite. A good representative specimen for this hard-to-find and colorful association from Spain. Ex. Brian Kosnar Collection.

These small specks are beautiful - more so than it tends to be from the type locality in fact for lustre and sparkliness, but this is really a locality reference piece.
