The mineral chalcanthite is composed of hydrous copper sulfate. It is translucent and a rich blue in color. Chalcanthite has a hardness of 2.5. The oxidation of copper sulfides is what causes it to form in nature.

Where is chalcanthite found?

Chalcanthite is commonly found in arid and semi-arid regions, often associated with copper deposits. It typically forms in oxidized zones of copper-bearing minerals, especially in areas where copper sulfides are present. Notable locations include the United States (particularly in Arizona and New Mexico), as well as parts of Chile, Morocco, and Germany. It can also be found in evaporative environments, where it crystallizes from solutions containing copper.

When hydrated copper sulfate is heated it loses its water of hydration and becomes copper sulfate?

It becomes a non-crystalline, powdery anhydrous salt.The hydrated (pentahydrate) form is chalcanthite, a bright blue crystal. The rare anhydrous ore form is called chalcocyanite, a gray or pale-green powdery rock.(If heated to 650 °C, copper sulfate becomes copper oxide and sulfur trioxide.)
