System:OrthorhombicColour:Emerald-green to ...
Lustre:VitreousHardness:3½
Name:Named after the type locality at the Antler Mine, Mohave Co., Arizona, USA.


A secondary mineral occurring in the oxidized zone of copper deposits in arid regions.
Less common than the related and sometimes visually similar brochantite with which it may be confused.

Metastable at ambient temperature with respect to brochantite; appears to form at usually higher temperatures (60-80°C) (Yoder et al., 2007).
