Abstract
Kinoite, Cu2Ca2Si3O10·2H2O, was described by Anthony and Laughon (1970). Associated minerals at the type locality are typical skarn minerals. The Michigan occurrence, at the Laurium Mine, Calumet, represents a different environment. Here, kinoite is found as subhedral to euhedral crystals within quartz and calcite; other associated minerals include native copper, native silver, epidote, pumpellyite, and chlorite.
The host rock is the mineralized top of the Kearsarge amygdaloid.
Mineral data for the Michigan kinoite are essentially the same as the type kinoite.
