Paceite , formerly known as IMA2001-030, is the mineral form of calcium copper acetate.[1][2] It is named after Frank L. Pace (born 1948), an amateur mineral collector who discovered it at the Potosi mine in Broken Hill, N.S.W., Australia (31° 57′ S, 141° 27′ E) in 2001.[4] The identity and name of the mineral were approved by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA) in 2002.
It is a secondary mineral, formed by the interaction of other calcium- and copper-bearing minerals with decaying leaf litter.[1]
