Description

Bianchiniite (IMA-2019-022) is an exceedingly rare new mineral phase found only in a very few micro grains. Geochemical conditions of formation are so peculiar that it's really hard it can be found again anywhere else. You bid on a grain of 250x80x50 μm mounted on a capillary for single crystal X-ray diffractometer analysis.

Author's material.

Please see on action my other new minerals from Tuscany.
