Plancheite

Plancheite is a rare hydrous copper silicate mineral, prized for its striking blue coloration, ranging from pale blue to deep azure and occasionally greenish blue. Typically occurring as fibrous, acicular, or botryoidal aggregates, it develops in the oxidized zones of copper deposits as a secondary mineral. Plancheite is frequently associated with other copper minerals, including dioptase, malachite, chrysocolla, and shattuckite. Its rich colour and distinctive silky lustre make it a desirable addition to fine mineral collections. Explore our selection of genuine plancheite specimens for your collection.
