Pseudomalachite : Cu5[(OH)2|PO4]2, Chrysocolla : (Cu,Al)2H2Si2O5(OH)4·nH2O

Mt Glorious Mine, Cloncurry, Cloncurry District, Mt Isa - Cloncurry area, Queensland, Australia

6.3 x 5.1 x 3.4 cm. Pseudomalachite is a phosphate, NOT a carbonate like malachite, and the two are often mixed up in favor of malachite. This is an excellent, showy, display-sized specimen from this famous occurrence, one of the great classic finds for the species.

Mt Glorious Mine, Cloncurry, Cloncurry District, Mt Isa - Cloncurry area, Queensland, Australia

2.9 x 2.2 x 1.8 cm. Lustrous deep green round aggregates of pseudomalachite crystals from one of the main localities for this species which is, interestingly, not really chemically related to malachite: it is a phosphate whereas malachite is a carbonate but often they are confused because they look similar. Ex. Carlton Davis Collection.
