Ajoite

Ajoite is a copper silicate mineral that is named for its type locality in the Ajo District of Pima County, Arizona.  It is a secondary mineral that forms from the oxidation of other secondary copper minerals.  This gem ranges in color from blue-green to light green and is transparent to translucent.  It is associated with other rare and colorful minerals such as shattuckite, papagoite and plancheite; which makes very attractive specimens.
