Short summary
The new mineral heimite was originally discovered on the mine dumps of the Grosses Chalttal deposit, Mürtschenalp district, Glarus, Switzerland. Its relatively simple chemistry is formed by water and ions of lead, copper, arsenic, hydrogen and oxygen. The mineral's crystal structure is related to the well-known duftite, which is also observed to grow on crystals of heimite. While heimite has so far only been found in the central Alps, it is expected to occur in other copper deposits worldwide.
