BOTRYOGEN FOR SALE

Botryogen is a rare and striking mineral that belongs to the sulfate mineral group. Known for its distinctive bright orange to reddish-brown color, botryogen typically forms in small, rounded, botryoidal (grape-like) clusters, which is also the source of its name—from the Greek word "botrys," meaning "bunch of grapes." It has a vitreous to resinous luster and often forms in association with other secondary sulfate minerals, such as melanterite and copiapite. Botryogen forms in arid, oxidizing environments, typically as a secondary mineral in the oxidized zones of metal deposits, particularly those rich in iron and magnesium. The mineral is found in a few specific localities worldwide, including certain mines in Germany, the United States, and South America.
