Lake Boga granite quarry, Lake Boga, Swan Hill Rural City, Victoria, Australia
Locality type:Quarry
Classification
Species:Kunatite
Formula:CuFe23+(PO4)2(OH)2 · 4H2O
Comments:"Kunatite was first found about 1990, and occurs on only 7 or 8 small pieces of granite matrix, which may have been the contents of a single miarolitic cavity. kunatite from Lake Boga occurs as acicular to lath-like microcrystals that are rapidially intergrown to form compactto slightly open spheres, hemispheres and flattened sprays up to about 0.25mm across. Individual fibrous crystals are up to 30 micron long and 5 micron thick. The only supergene mineral associated with kunatite is chalcosiderite/turquoise. Thin blades of manganoan ferberite occur on several of the specimens, but this is regarded as an accidental association. The matrix minerals are smoky quartz, white albite, cream orthoclase and muscovite."
