Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CLINOCLASITE , a rare
mineral
  consisting of the basic copper arsenate (CuOH)3AsO4. It crystallizes in the
monoclinic
 
1 The word " climb " (O.E. climban), meaning strictly to ascend (or similarly descend) by progressive self-impulsion, with some apparent degree of laborious effort and by means of contact with the surface traversed, is connected with the same root as in " cleave " and " cling." For Alpine climbing, &c., see MOUNTAINEERING.
system
  and possesses a perfect cleavage parallel to the basal plane; this cleavage is obliquely placed with respect to the prism faces of the crystal, hence the name clinoclase or clinoclasite, from Gr. KAivew, to incline, and Khav, to break. The crystals are deep blue in colour, and are usually radially arranged in hemispherical groups. Hardness 22-3; specific gravity 4.36. The
mineral
  was formerly found with other copper arsenates in the mines of the St Day
district
  of
Cornwall
 . It has also been found near Tavistock in Devonshire, near Sayda (or Saida) in
Saxony
 , and in the Tintic
district
  of Utah. It is a mineral of secondary origin, having resulted by the decomposition of copper ores and
mispickel
  in the upper
part
  of mineral veins. The corresponding basic copper phosphate, (CuOH)3PO4, is the mineral pseudomalachite, which occurs as green botryoidal masses resembling
malachite
  in
appearance
 .
