Layman's explanation: Copiapite was discovered in 1833 in Copiapo, Chile, hence the mineral s name. Many countries contain this mineral, namely Chile, Australia and Canada. Copiapite forms when iron sulfide deposits oxidize. Characteristics of the sulfate mineral are a yellow, orange or greenish-yellow color, non-radioactivity and non-fluorescence, dissolving in water and tasting metallic.
