About Magnanelliite
Formula:
K3Fe3+2(SO4)4(OH)(H2O)2
Colour:
Yellow to orange‐yellow
Lustre:
Vitreous
Hardness:
3
Specific Gravity:
2.82
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
The name honors Stefano Magnanelli (b. 1959), chemist and mineral collector, for his contributions to the knowledge of the mineralogy of the Apuan Alps hydrothermal veins. He coauthored the type description of bottinoite and provided the first specimens of parasterryit and bianchiniite, as well as several samples from the Carrara marble quarries and other mining sites of the Apuan Alps, supporting the mineralogical studies of these occurrences.
