1. Chalcanthite

   Chalcanthite (from Ancient Greek χάλκανθον (khálkanthon), from χαλκός (khalkós) 'copper', and ἄνθος (ánthos) 'flower, bloom') is a richly colored blue-green water-soluble sulfate mineral CuSO4 · 5H2O. It is commonly found in the late-stage oxidation zones of copper deposits. Due to its ready solubility, chalcanthite is more common in arid regions. Chalcanthite is a pentahydrate and the most common member of a group of similar hydrated sulfates, the chalcanthite group. These other sulfates are identical in chemical composition to chalcanthite, with the exception of replacement of the copper ion by either manganese as jokokuite, iron as melanterite, or magnesium as pentahydrite.Other names include blue stone, blue vitriol, and copper vitriol.

1. chalcanthite

   Chalcanthite is a richly colored blue or green water-soluble sulfate mineral, primarily composed of copper with the chemical formula CuSO4·5H2O. It is often found in the late-stage oxidation zones of copper deposits. Due to its solubility, chalcanthite is usually found in arid regions and rarely seen in damp environments. It is used in some industrial applications, such as insecticides and fungicides, due to its copper content. However, it is toxic to humans and should not be ingested.
