Description

In this sample you can find the magnanelliite like a multitude of rich groups of gold-yellow, pointed, prismatic crystals. Rich specimen!  Analyzed. (my last)

Magnanelliite is in honor of the outstanding minerals-collector S.Magnanelli, protagonist of exceptional finds at the M. Arsiccio mine and more other areas of Tuscany. 

Magnanellite IMA 2019-006, the Fe3+ analogue of alcaparrosaite, it's a new specie found  in the Monte Arsiccio mine, world famous, for the magnificent and rare species that has been found here in recent decades. Magnanelliite ref.  IMA 2019-006.
