About Paratacamite
Formula:
Cu3(Cu,Zn)(OH)6Cl2
Colour:
Green to greenish-black.
Lustre:
Vitreous
Hardness:
3
Specific Gravity:
3.72 - 3.74
Crystal System:
Trigonal
Member of:
Name:
Named for its relationship to atacamite.
Atacamite Group.
A secondary copper mineral. Easily confused with the closely related Clinoatacamite.
Derivatives are paratacamite-(Mg) and paratacamite-(Ni).
Also closely related to Herbertsmithite and Gillardite (both have halved a-axes by comparison to paratacamite).
On heating paratacamite reversibly transforms into herbertsmithite between 353 and 393 K (Welch et al., 2014).
Paratacamite contains essential zinc; therefore it is not a polymorph of atacamite.
"Ni-bearing paratacamite": compare Gillardite.
