Associated minerals are olivenite, chalcophyllite, clinoclase, comwallite, strashimirite, malachite, azurite, and cuprite. |
Some of the finest cuprite specimens ever found have come from the oxidized zones of several of Arizona's porphyry copper and related deposits. |
The mine is well known for the rare secondary copper minerals that occur in the lode, including paramelaconite, cuprite, malachite, and dioptase. |
Other exciting occurrences of cuprite and associated secondary minerals will no doubt be discovered as new mines are developed. |
Similar malachite masses weighing up to 3 tons as well as malachite pseudomorphs after cuprite crystals to 2 cm have been found in the mine. |
Copper pseudomorphs after another isometric mineral, apparently cuprite, are known in excellent, though rare, specimens. |
