Chrysocolla

Chrysocolla is a hydrated copper phyllosilicate mineral with formula: Cu2−Al(H2−Si2O5)(OH)4·H2O (or (Cu,Al)2H2Si2O5(OH)4·H2O. The structure of the mineral has been questioned, as spectrographic studies suggest material identified as chrysocolla may be a mixture of the copper hydroxide spertiniite and chalcedony.
