Clinoclase

Clinoclase has a beautiful dark blue to dark greenish blue color.

Chemical Formula: H3AsCu3O7
Other names: Copper arsenate trihydroxide
Layman's explanation: Clinoclase, also known as clinoclasite, is a dark blue with shades of green mineral consisting of basic copper arsenate occurring in translucent prismatic crystals or massive. It was first given the name Clinoclase by Breithaupt in 1830, the name coming from Greek “klineis,” to incline and “klas,” to break after its oblique cleavage. Clinoclase is used as mineral specimen. Some notable occurrences are England, Russia, Romania, and United States specifically California, Arizona and Utah.
