Malachite |
| CuCO3.Cu(OH)2 |
| Monoclinic |
Green stains or coatings of fibrous malachite, formed by the oxidation of chalcopyrite, are rarities at both Franklin and Sterling Hill. Reports of silver silicate at Sterling Hill made by several observers have not been confirmed and are probably to be assigned to malachite.
