It was discovered in Bunbury Well, Mooloo Downs station, Murchison, Western Australia in 1986.[3] It has an orthorhombic crystalline structure, and is formed by the interaction of bird guano with weathering copper sulfides. A second occurrence is reported from the Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines silver mining district of Vosges Mountains, France.[3] References ↑ Warr, L.N. (2021). "IMA–CNMNC approved mineral symbols".
