Info: Cyanotrichite creates very fragile crystals with blue and green colour. It's a very rare mineral, which is created often in the same locations where azurite and malachite is found.
How to recognize: Cyanotrichite burns in fire with crackling and it's easly dissolved into acids.
Found: Cyanotrichite was found in La Garonne (France), Laurion (Greece), Clifton - Morenci in Arizona (USA) and in Rio Marina (Italy).
