System:MonoclinicColour:Turquoise-blue, ...
Hardness:1½ - 2
Name:Named after its discovery locality, Falkenstein near Schwaz, Tyrol, Austria.


A secondary mineral found in the oxidized zones of copper deposits.

Material from the type locality is monoclinic (P2/c; tyrolite-1M); a C-centred monoclinic polytype also exists at the type locality and is called tyrolite-2M (Krivovichev et al., 2006). The status of 'clinotyrolite' is presently unclear although the unit cell given for clinotyrolite is close to that of tyrolite-1M.

The presence of polytypes in tyrolite was already inferred from optical properties by Wieser & Zabinski (1986).

Not all "tyrolites" may contain CO3 groups (see also Church, 1895).
