Nabateaite
A valid IMA mineral species
This page is currently not sponsored. Click here to sponsor this page.
Formula:
Fe2P2O7
Crystal System:
Triclinic
Known synthetic analogue. One of the most simple iron phosphate minerals (compare, e.g., rodolicoite, heterosite and graftonite). Chemically somewhat similar to other Fe-rich pyrophosphates (diphosphates): anastasenkoite and a chemical counterpart, though not a true analogue, of samraite (that is Ni-dominant).
Also compare 'Unnamed (Iron Diphosphate)'.
