Antlerite is a greenish hydrous copper sulfate mineral, with the formula Cu 3 (SO 4)(OH) 4. It occurs in tabular, acicular , or fibrous crystals with a vitreous luster. Originally believed to be a rare mineral, antlerite was found to be the primary ore of the oxidised zones in several copper mines across the world, including the Chuquicamata ...

antlerite 产于 铜矿 床的 氧化带 中。 在 美国 亚利桑那州的比斯比(Bisbee)、阿拉斯加的肯尼科特(Kennicott)、 墨西哥 的科阿韦拉(Coahuila)的莫哈达山脉(Sierra Mojada)和 智利 的丘基卡马塔(Chuquicamata)，块铜矾是铜的主要 矿石矿物 。

Emerald-green to blackish-green, also light green. Named in 1889 by William F. Hillebrand after the type locality at the Antler Mine, Mohave Co., Arizona, USA. A secondary mineral occurring in the oxidized zone of copper deposits in arid regions. Less common than the related and sometimes visually similar brochantite with which it may be confused.

Distribution: In the USA, in Arizona, from the Antler mine, near Yucca Station, Mohave Co., large crystals at several mines in Bisbee, Cochise Co., from the Grandview mine, Grand Canyon, Coconino Co., in Copper Basin, between Skull Valley and Prescott, and at Jerome, Yavapai Co.; from the Blanchard mine, near Bingham, Hansonburg district, Socorr...

antlerite, a copper sulfate mineral, Cu 3 (SO 4) (OH) 4, that is found in the oxidized zone of copper deposits, particularly in arid regions. At Bisbee, Ariz; Kennicott, Alaska; Sierra Mojada, Coahuila, Mex.; and Chuquicamata, Chile, it is the principal copper ore mineral. For detailed physical properties, see sulfate mineral (table).

Introduction: antlerite is a supergene copper mineral that tends to be restricted in occurrence to arid, highly acidic environments. Associated minerals are gypsum, other copper sulphates such as brochantite and chlorides such as atacamite.

Antlerite is a greenish hydrous copper sulfate mineral that was first discovered in Antler mine, Mojave Co., Arizona in 1889. The mineral was named after its place of discovery. The following are the key properties of Antlerite: Pleochroism: X = yellow-green; Y = blue-green; Z = green.
