Pseudomalachite from
Lake Boga granite quarry, Lake Boga, Swan Hill Rural City, Victoria, Australia


Locality type:Quarry
Classification
Species:Pseudomalachite
Formula:Cu5(PO4)2(OH)4
Comments:"Pseudomalachite occurs as irregular globular aggregates and, more rarely, rough crystals up to a few mm across, in cavities in the Lake Boga granite. It is pearly to vitreous, and transparent to translucent dark blueish green. It is often associated libethenite and ulrichite. The mineral also occurs as massive cavity fillings and scaly coatings on joint planes, where it its often seen with sampleiite, and may also occur very rarely as layers between cleavage flakes of muscovite."
