The Mineral KTENASITE


Ktenasite is a rare mineral from the classic mineral site at Laurium, Attiki, Greece. Ktenasite is a colorful mineral. It is often associated with other colorful minerals such as serpierite, glaucocerinite and smithsonite. Ktenasite forms crusts of lovely blue-green aggregates and tiny crystal rosettes adorning other minerals. Ktenasite forms as the result of the oxidation of copper and zinc sulfide minerals.
