Paradamite: Crystal structure, Physical and optical properties & Occurrence and paragenesis

Paradamite is a very rare zinc arsenate mineral with the chemical formula Zn2(AsO4)(OH). It is closely related to the better-known mineral adamite: both have the same chemical composition, but the atoms are arranged differently in the crystals. Because of this different structure, paradamite and adamite belong to different crystal systems (triclinic for…
