About GlaucoceriniteHide

Formula:
(Zn1-xAlx)(OH)2(SO4)x/2 · nH2O
(x < 0.5, n > 3x/2). May contain Cu replacing Zn (formula for type material is given as Zn13Al8Cu7(SO4)2O30.34H2O).
Colour:
Sky-blue, turquoise-blue, greenish, greyish, brownish
Lustre:
Waxy
Hardness:
1
Specific Gravity:
2.749
Crystal System:
Hexagonal
Name:
From the Greek γλαυκός for "sky-blue" and κήρινος for "wax-like," in allusion to its colour and appearance.
Compare also Woodwardite Group. Compare 'UM1985-07-OH:AlCuSZn' - corresponding to the alleged cotype specimen of glaucocerinite.
