Falottait (MnC 2 O 4 •3H 2 O)-ein neues Oxalat-Mineral aus den Schweizer Alpen. Schweizer Strahler, 50(3),[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Falottaite (IMA 2013-044), MnC 2 O 4 •3H 2 O, orthorhombic, is a new mineral discovered in abandoned manganese mines of Falotta and Parsettens and Tinzen in the Oberhalbstein region, Canton Grisons, Switzerland. The mines were exploited in the past centuries up to the World War II. The manganese ores occur as lenses in radiolaritic rocks of the large Oberhalbstein ophiolithic zone. The origin of the synsedimentary ores related to a Jurassic ocean ridge volcanism. The whole complex was deformed by the Alpine metamorphism and influenced by lowest greenschist facies conditions. The primary ores consist mostly of braunite, rhodonite, and spessartite. The remobilization process produced several manganese arsenates: brandtite, sarkinite, manganberzeliite, tilasite, kemmlizite, bergslagite, grischunite, geigerite, and cabalzarite. Falottaite presumably resulted from reaction of humus and oxalic acids (from plants) with manganese minerals. Perfectly shaped colorless transparent ship-like crystals up to 1 × 0.5 mm were found in small fractures in the ra
