Papagoite
Preview
Papagoite is a formal mineral species, a calcium copper aluminium silicate hydroxide. It is named for the Hia C-eḍ Oʼodham (Sand Papago) of the Ajo, Arizona type area. It is distinct from Ajoite and Shattuckite, which may occur with it. Quartz specimens with papagoite inclusions are natural composites, not a separate mineral. Collectors may keep it for study and display. It is not medical care.
