aurichalciten.

/ɔːrɪˈkalsʌɪt/

Etymology: < (by Böttger 1839) aurichalcum, variant spelling (after aurum gold) of Latin orichalcum ‘yellow copper ore, or the brass made of it,’ < Greek ὀρείχαλκον ‘mountain-copper.’ So called, because, when reduced, it yields brass, ‘a gold-coloured alloy of copper and zinc,’ whence Sage in 1791 had suggested its possible identity with the ‘aurichalcum of the ancients’ (Dana.) Some authors write orichalcite, but as the false etymology influenced the choice of the name, Dana retains auri-.

Mineralogy.

A cuprous hydrozincite, of pale green, verdigris, or sky-blue colour.

ΚΠ

1844–68 J. D. Dana Min. 712.
