System:TrigonalColour:Emerald green, grass ...
Lustre:Sub-Adamantine, Vitreous, PearlyHardness:2
Name:From the Greek χαλκός (chalcos) for "copper" and φύλλον (phullon) for "leaf," in allusion to the composition, containing copper, and the platy habit of the crystals.


An uncommon secondary mineral occurring in the oxidised zones of some arsenic-bearing hydrothermal polymetallic deposits.
Can be partially dehydrated.

May be confused with tabular Spangolite.

About Crystal Atlas

You may need to scroll this box using your mouse to view the full instructions.

The mindat.org Crystal Atlas allows you to view a selection of crystal drawings of real and idealised crystal forms for this mineral and, in certain cases, 3d rotating crystal objects. You need Java to see these. You can download Java for free - click here to download Java

The 3d models and java code are kindly provided by www.smorf.nl. You can control the movement of the models by holding down the left mouse-button over the 3d model and moving your mouse. Keyboard controls are:

: default positions
t/T: decrease/increase transparency x/X: next/previous texture
b/B: next/previous background w: toggle wireframe
s: toggle sticks m: toggle miller indices
k: toggle crystallographic axes =/-: zoom in/out

Optical Data of Chalcophyllite

Type:Uniaxial (-)
RI values: nω = 1.618 - 1.632 nε = 1.552 - 1.575
Maximum Birefringence:δ = 0.066

Chart shows birefringence interference colour range (at 30µm thickness) and does not take into account mineral colouration.
Surface Relief:Moderate
Pleochroism:Weak
Comments:O = Bluish green
E = Nearly colourless
Comments:Indices of refraction vary markedly depending on the relative humidity since the water content varies at ambient temperature.
