Brochantite, etc.

Puricelli Quarry, Cavagnano, Cuasso al Monte, Varese Province, Lombardy, Italy
Locality type:Quarry
Classification
Species:Brochantite
Formula:Cu4(SO4)(OH)6
Comments:According to Guastoni et al. (2017), all analyses recently performed on presumed brochantite samples have shown that the green mineral is agardite-(Y). Hence, these authors have put in doubt the existence of brochantite in the greisen facies of Cuasso al Monte granitic granophyre.
