Editing Covellite (section)

=== Naturally occurring ===
Covellite is commonly found as a secondary copper mineral in deposits. Covellite is known to form in [[weathering]] environments in surficial deposits where copper is the primary sulfide.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Majzlan|first1=Juraj|last2=Kiefer|first2=Stefan|last3=Herrmann|first3=Julia|last4=Števko|first4=Martin|last5=Sejkora|first5=Jiří|last6=Chovan|first6=Martin|last7=Lánczos|first7=Tomáš|last8=Lazarov|first8=Marina|last9=Gerdes|first9=Axel|date=June 2018|title=Synergies in elemental mobility during weathering of tetrahedrite [(Cu,Fe,Zn)12(Sb,As)4S13]: Field observations, electron microscopy, isotopes of Cu, C, O, radiometric dating, and water geochemistry|journal=Chemical Geology|volume=488|pages=1–20|doi=10.1016/j.chemgeo.2018.04.021|issn=0009-2541|bibcode=2018ChGeo.488....1M|s2cid=135253715}}</ref> As a primary mineral, the formation of covellite is restricted to [[hydrothermal]] conditions, thus rarely found as such in copper ore deposits or as a volcanic sublimate.<ref name=":9" />
