Alchimia seria.
Oggi convegno sulla corrosione dei metalli.
Più atacamite per tutti ma non per chi ha un cuore d’oro e l’argento vivo addosso.

Atacamite is a copper halide mineral: a copper(II) chloride hydroxide with the chemical formula Cu2Cl(OH)3. It was first described in 1802 by Dmitri Alekseyevich Golitsyn from deposits in Chile's Atacama Desert, after which it is named.

#Atacamite crystallizes around seafloor vents, in arid environments, and even sublimates around subaerial volcanic vents. It is also a biomineral 🤩, a natural composite that forms bloodworm jaws.
