Akrochordite
Encyclopedia
Akrochordite is an exceptionally rare hydrated hydrous arsenate mineral
of the formula (Mn,Mg)4(AsO4)2(OH)4.4H2O and represents a small group of rare in the nature manganese arsenates and, similarly to most other Mn-bearing arsenates, possess pinkish colour. It is typically associated with metamorphic Mn deposits.
Arsenate mineral
Arsenate minerals usually refer to the naturally occurring orthoarsenates, possessing the 3- anion group and, more rarely, other arsenates with anions like AsO32- or [AsO22]- . Arsenite minerals are much less common...
