Treschina fumarole, Second scoria cone, Northern Breakthrough (North Breach), Great Fissure (Main Fracture) eruption, Tolbachik volcano, Kamchatka Oblast', Far-Eastern Region, Russia

Bright honey-brown, shining dolerophanite crystalline crust grow over pinkish granular chalcocyanite. Associating minerals are silvery-grey crystalline crusts of tenorite and bright emerald-green euchlorine. FOV is ~3x2 mm. Collected by Elena Yu. Bykova in 1994. Pavel M. Kartashov collection and photo.

Treschina fumarole, Second scoria cone, Northern Breakthrough (North Breach), Great Fissure (Main Fracture) eruption, Tolbachik volcano, Kamchatka Oblast', Far-Eastern Region, Russia

Dark-brown, transparent, striated, complex twinned crystals of dolerophanite in the furrow of the large chalcocyanyte crystal. Chalcocyanite is absolutely fresh, anhydrous, translucent to transparent greyish to yellowish. Associating minerals are silvery-grey balls of tenorite and very minor green euchlorine. FOV is ~3x2 mm.

Treschina fumarole, Second scoria cone, Northern Breakthrough (North Breach), Great Fissure (Main Fracture) eruption, Tolbachik volcano, Kamchatka Oblast', Far-Eastern Region, Russia

Two dolerophanite generations. The first one form light-brown finecrystaline crust replacing feldspar-like white chalcocyanite crystals. The second one form large dark-brown crystals over green euchlorine. Black metallic tenorite also present here. Specimen size is ~1x1 cm. Pavel M. Kartashov collection and photo.
