Molinello Mine, Graveglia Valley, Ne, Genova Province, Liguria, Italy

5.9 x 3.2 x 1.8 cm. A thin drusy crust on matrix is the very rare mineral medaite: a manganese, calcium, vanadium arsenic, silicate hydroxide. The medaite has sparkling luster and a rose red color. This specimen is from the type locality in Italy and is, I am told, quite rich for the species.
