A rare mineral, a hydrated copper silicate, typically blue or green in color and found in oxidized copper deposits.
Named from the root 'avi-' possibly referring to bird-like coloration or appearance, plus '-lite' (stone). The exact naming origin is debated among mineralogists.
Aviolite is so rare that most mineralogy students never see a real specimen—it exists in museum collections worldwide, and each sample tells a story of ancient copper deposits exposed to weathering.
