Description
A blue-green mineral that has been occasionally found as a pigment. Posnjakite occurs naturally in deposits of Malachite. Recipes for the synthetic preparation of posnjakite are given in a late 18th century paint manual (Naumova and Pisareva, 1994). Posnjakite has also been found as a Bronze corrosion product where it is thought to be a precursor to Brochantite formation (Selwyn, et al., 1996).
