A rare mineral containing copper and tungstate, related to the mineral scheelite and found in oxidized ore environments.
From Latin 'cuprum' (copper) combined with 'scheelite' (named after Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele), using the mineral suffix '-ite'.
Scheelite minerals glow brilliantly under ultraviolet light, and cuproscheelite does too—miners use UV lamps to hunt for these glowing crystals in the dark, making geology feel like a treasure hunt.
