Brucite is the mineral form of magnesium hydroxide, with the chemical formula Mg(OH)2. It is a common alteration product of periclase in marble; a low-temperature hydrothermal vein mineral in metamorphosed limestones and chlorite schists; and formed during the serpentination of dunites.

 

A LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT BRUCITE: Brucite is a magnesium hydroxide mineral that crystallizes in the form of masses, plates, crusts, fibres, botryoidal and small tabular crystals. It can be seen in a variety of colours such as blue, green, white, yellow, pink, red, and even colourless. Brucite occurs in low-temperature hydrothermal veins in metamorphic (transformation by heat, pressure etc.) limestone. This crystal can also occur in marble, when it is an alteration of a similar magnesium mineral known as Periclase. Many common minerals found near or in association with Brucite include Serpentine, Dolomite, Aragonite, Calcite, and Magnesite.

Brucite was first discovered in 1824 by American mineralogist Archibald Bruce. He was in his lab examining an unknown magnesium-heavy mineral from New Jersey. He realized that it was an entirely new piece of Earth in his hands, so he chose to name it after himself (Archibald was also the first person to correctly analyze the Zincite material that came out of Sussex County, New Jersey). Since then, Brucite can be found all across the globe, with a new deposit recently being discovered in Wadh, a town in the Khuzdar District of Baluchistan, Pakistan. Other notable localities include Italy, Russia, Spain, the United States, Germany, Austria, China and Australia.This vivid green gem gets its colour from copper. Malachite is invariably associated with copper ore deposits. It’s considered one of the minor copper ores, with 58% copper content. Its recovery is generally done, at least on the large scale, as a sidelight of copper mining.
