About Blaubleibender CovelliteHide

Name:
From German for "blue remaining covellite".
A sulphur-deficient covellite (CuS) "variety" later recognised as consisting of two different, closely related minerals, spionkopite and yarrowite.
Literally "blue remaining covellite" (maintains blue colour under oil, unlike covellite which shows a red-violet colour).
