naturally as the very rare mineral eriochalcite. 

 

Copper(II) chloride dissociates in aqueous solution to give the characteristic

green color.  It is a weak Lewis Acid and a mild oxidizing agent. 

 

Applications:

Copper(II) Chloride is commonly used in pyrotechnics as a green coloring agent.

A major industrial application for Copper(II) Chloride is as a co-catalyst
