Raw Natural Atacamite Stone on Acrylic Base - Rare Formation (Collection) 547 grams
Raw, natural Atacamite , of exceptional formation, firmly mounted on an acrylic base. This secondary copper mineral is not only a visually striking addition to any collection, but represents a fascinating case study in the geological chemistry of arid environments, making it an acquisition of both aesthetic and scientific significance.
Energy Meaning
In the context of crystal therapies, Atacamite is considered a stone of profound transformation and energetic cleansing. Its vibration is associated with the dissolution of old blockages and crystallized emotional patterns, acting intensely in the alignment of the lower and upper chakras. It is believed to stimulate clairvoyant vision and extrasensory perception, while promoting a sense of courage to face necessary changes. It is a stone with a strong earth connection, ideal for grounding meditations and for energetic purification processes of spaces.
Detailed Gemological and Geological Analysis
-
Chemical Classification: Copper Hydroxychloride.
-
Chemical Formula: Cu₂Cl(OH)₃.
-
Crystal System: Orthorhombic . Forms elongated prismatic crystals, often striated, or fibrous, granular, and botryoidal aggregates. The crystals may exhibit an acicular habit.
-
Mineral Class: Halides. Specifically, a basic copper halide.
-
Chemical Composition: Hydroxylated Copper Chloride. Its intense emerald green to dark green color is a direct indication of the presence of copper ions (Cu²⁺) in its structure.
-
Rarity: Rare . Atacamite is a relatively uncommon mineral. Well-formed specimens with visible crystals and collectible size like this one are considered highly rare and much sought after by copper mineral collectors.
-
Occurrence & Locality: This specimen originates from the Atacama Desert, Chile , the type locality that gave the mineral its name. It is also found in other arid regions such as Australia and Arizona (USA).
-
Rock Composition: Atacamite occurs as a secondary mineral in oxidation zones of copper deposits in arid climates. It is frequently associated with other secondary copper minerals such as malachite, azurite, chrysocolla, and cuprite.
-
Rock Formation: Atacamite is a secondary mineral of supergene origin . Its genesis is intrinsically linked to arid climatic conditions. It forms through the oxidation of primary copper sulfides (such as chalcosine and chalcopyrite) by the action of chloride-rich groundwater. In desert environments, intense evaporation concentrates chloride ions, which react with oxidized copper minerals. This process, involving the infiltration of saline water and subsequent evaporation, leads to the precipitation of Atacamite in the oxidation zones of copper deposits, often filling fissures or forming coatings and aggregates.
