Reasons for health and old age, my "mineralogical trips" to the island of Elba and Leghorn Mountains have stopped.
Now I'm doing photos.
I'm reordering my old collection.
Here I am referring to the locality Nibbiaia, Rosignano Marittimo, Livorno Province, Tuscany, Italy.
http://www.mindat.org/loc-252520.html
Locality description:
Radiolarites & Hydrotermalites, about 800m east-south-east of Nibbiaia.
Mineral list: Anatase, Brookite, Quartz. Millerite, etc.


I was examining some samples of this area. Here in the past were mainly found Anatase.
Carefully examining etched samples (cold dilute HCl), interesting "unknown" are appearing.


------------------------------

In the very first time, examining a sample under the microscope, I saw this acicular crystal (Field of View: 1.5 mm).






Subsequently, in fact, I have noticed that this and other samples contain rare fragments of a yellow-orange material.
So I decided to make a sweep analysis of different specimens.
I have thus noted the presence of other crystals, and yellow-orange crusts and coatings here and there on the specimens.

I show some pictures.


Crystals.







Small masses, coatings (very rare). FoV 3 mm.




------------------------------

Is it the same mineral?
I suppose yes, even if sometime the crystals appear slightly more orange, and the crusts slightly more yellow.
Comparison:





Yellow orange unidentified is unidentified. So far.
