1939 Palache & Jarrell in Amer. Mineralogist 24 388 Salesite is an iodate of copper first found by the junior author in 1936 on the west side of Bench E-4 at the south end of the open pit at Chuquicamata, Chile.
1962 Acta Crystallographica XV. 1106/1 Rotation and Weissenberg photographs of the artificial CuIO3(OH)..indicate that it is identical with salesite in cell dimensions and the distribution of intensities.
