Bisbeeite
Originally described from Shattuck Mine, Bisbee, Warren District, Mule Mts, Cochise Co., Arizona, USA.
Its status seems to be under debate, with an interesting discussion on Doug Graeme’s website: https://www.bisbeeminingandminerals.com/type-species-from-bisbee . It seems to be variously considered a variety of plancheite and/or chrysocolla, from work in other localities, but Sid Williams, working on type locality material, thought it still legitimate, but the study was never completed.
