Zeunerite is a green copper uranium arsenate mineral with formula Cu(UO2)2(AsO4)2·(10-16)H2O. It is a member of the autunite group. The associated mineral metazeunerite is a dehydration product of zeunerite.
Zeunerite occurs as a secondary mineral in the
uranium ore deposits which contain arsenic. Olivenite, mansfieldite, scorodite, azurite and malachite are found in association with zeunerite.[2]
It was first described in 1872 for an occurrence in the Schneeberg District,
Gustav Anton Zeuner (1828–1907).[3]
