Fe3+:Cu ≈ 2:1
System:TrigonalColour:Yellow
Lustre:EarthyHardness:3½ - 4½
Name:For Beaver County, Utah, USA.


Originally named beaverite.
Compare Beaverite-(Zn) and also Osarizawaite.

Can be distinguished from plumbojarosite only by accurate determination of the Fe:Cu ratio.
Other Fe members of the alunite family are also visually very similar.
