Cu(II), Mn(II) in tetragonal site in chrysocolla

Chrysocolla samples from two regions are studied spectroscopically to ascertain the site symmetries of the transition metal ions present in them. The results indicate the tetragonal site symmetry for Cu(II) and Mn(II). The crystal field and spin Hamiltonian parameters are evaluated.
