Overview

Sabelliite is a mineral that was first discovered at the Is Murvonis Mine in Dosmusnovas, Sardinia. It was discovered growing in an old fluorite mine. It grows as an inter-grown aggregate or as an isolated crystal in a compact quartzitic matrix. It appears as a platy disc-shaped emerald green transparent crystal. The mineral was named after Dr. Cesare Sabelli, researcher at the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche. Sabelliite's ideal chemical formula is (Cu,Zn)2Zn[(As,Sb)O4](OH)3
