7.5 x 4.8 x 3.5 cm. Two rare close cousins in one colorful specimen. Cyanotrichite (Hydrated Copper Aluminum Sulfate Hydroxide) typically forms acicular or hair like crystals aggregated into radial clusters, tufts and sprays - the form you see it in here if you look closely. It is aptly named since "cyano" and "trich" are derived from the Greek for blue and hair, respectively. It is formed from the oxidation of copper ore minerals along with other oxidation zone minerals. Here, it is paired with brochantite (Copper Sulfate Hydroxide) - it is the green, and the cyanotrichite is the blue. Ex. Mullane Collection.

8.6 x 5.3 x 3.5 cm. Cyanotrichite is a Copper Aluminum sulfate and well-crystallized specimens like this one are few and far between.

The mine is long defunct, but when specimens were being recovered, they were some of the most incredible, and brightly colored specimens from Arizona, or anywhere else for that matter. This specimen is filled with dozens upon dozens of excellent, bright blue color, acicular (needle-like) radiating aggregates or "sprays" of Cyanotrichite associated with dark green Brochantite, lighter green Malachite, pale blue Chalcoalumite and rich blue Azurite. There is also a small tabular colorless crystal which is most likely Gypsum or Baryte. The needles of Cyanotrichite are very delicate, but are equally stunning to view. Ex. Richard Kosnar Collection.
