Cu2Cl(OH)3
Orthorhombic
Atacamite, a copper chloride hydroxide mineral, was found by the writer on one specimen in the Harvard Mineralogical Museum and was verified solely by X-ray diffraction. It occurs as bright green microscopic crystals associated with radial, prismatic ganophyllite, rhodonite, and marsturite. Atacamite is exceedingly rare at Franklin and has not been reported from Sterling Hill.
