Vanadiocarpholite
Vanadiocarpholite is straw yellow to brown silicate mineral. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system. It is the vanadium rich variety of carpholite.It was first described in 2005 for an occurrence in the Molinello Mine, Graveglia Valley, Genova Province, Liguria, Italy. It occurs in chert in a manganese ore deposit as vein fillings in silicified wood.It consists of:
| Manganese | 15.56% | Mn | 20.09% | MnO |
| Aluminium | 7.64% | Al | 14.44% | Al2O3 |
| Vanadium | 14.43% | V | 21.23% | V2O3 |
| Silicon | 15.91% | Si | 34.04% | SiO2 |
| Hydrogen | 1.14% | H | 10.21% | H2O |
| Oxygen | 45.32% | O | | |
