Alleghanyite : Mn2+5[(OH)2|(SiO4)2]

Sunnyside Mine (American Tunnel; Mogul Mine; Washington Mine; Belle Creole; Gold Prince; Brenneman Mine; Sunnyside Mine Group), Howardsville, Silverton District, San Juan Co., Colorado, USA

These crystals, despite their size, are some of the finest color, exceptionally well crystallized Alleghanyites you''ll see from any locality. Typically Alleghanyite forms in pinkish-grey or pinkish-brown color crystals, if they''re even crystallized at all (most Alleghanyite I''ve seen is anhedral and good crystals are few and far between in this ...

Alleghanyite : Mn2+5[(OH)2|(SiO4)2], Baryte : BaSO4

Franklin Mine, Franklin, Franklin Mining District, Sussex Co., New Jersey, USA

Note the fine parallel striations that run perpendicular to the axis of the prism. These crystals were at first thought to be Leucohoenicite but were later proved to be alleghanyite. This specimen was found at Franklin, NJ in the late 1920's. It was also found in this form, as single crystals, on the Buckwheat Dump in 2001. Field of view is 7mm.

Alleghanyite : Mn2+5[(OH)2|(SiO4)2]

Sterling Mine, Sterling Hill, Ogdensburg, Franklin Mining District, Sussex Co., New Jersey, USA

Alleghanyite is an exceptionally rare member of the humite group, and this specimen is unusually rich with gemmy brown microcrystals to 2 mm flatlaying along an approximately 3-cm vertical axis on this specimen . The matrix is a typical mix of franklinite/calcite/willemite and is highly fluorescent. 11 x 6.5 x 4 cm
