Meaning of "vauquelinite" in English

Vauquelinite is a rare mineral composed of lead copper phosphate and chromate, recognized for its distinctive green to yellow-green crystalline appearance. This mineral is named after Louis Nicolas Vauquelin, a French chemist renowned for his discovery of chromium. Vauquelinite forms in oxidized zones of lead-copper deposits and is often associated with other lead and copper minerals. Its crystalline structures can be translucent to opaque, making them attractive to mineral collectors. Despite its rarity, vauquelinite is primarily of interest to mineralogists and collectors rather than being significant commercially.

Meaning of "vauquelinite" in French

Vauquelinite est un minéral rare composé de phosphate et chromate de plomb et de cuivre, connu pour son apparence cristalline allant du vert au vert-jaune. Ce minéral porte le nom de Louis Nicolas Vauquelin, un chimiste français célèbre pour sa découverte du chrome. La vauquelinite se forme dans les zones oxydées des dépôts de plomb-cuivre et est souvent associée à d'autres minéraux de plomb et de cuivre. Ses structures cristallines peuvent être translucides à opaques, ce qui les rend attrayantes pour les collectionneurs de minéraux. Malgré sa rareté, la vauquelinite intéresse principalement les minéralogistes et les collectionneurs plutôt que d'avoir une importance commerciale.
