Pseudomalachite from La Virgen Mine, Andújar, Jaén, Andalusia, Spain
Specimens of pseudomalachite from La Virgen Mine, near Andújar.
This technically only regards specimen #1 and #4, but its worth considering for the others.
This locale also produces fine specimens of Torbernite, a copper uranyl phosphate, and the matrix for these specimens does emit low levels of radiation (0.28usv/hr via Radiacode 2 @ 0CM) so it is likely there is some torbernite or meta-torbernite somewhere in this specimen. I do not have an alpha capable counter to check those levels, just gamma/hard beta.
For that reason, this should be considered radioactive, and careful handling is recommended.
