rambergite
Rambergite is a manganese sulfide mineral with formula .
nežilovite
Nezhilovite is a magnetoplumbite mineral discovered in 1996 by Bermanec et al., who gave it the ideal elemental formula PbZn2(Mn4+, Ti4+)2Fe8O19. It forms black magnetic crystals up to 1mm with a tabular, hexagonal outline. The mineral is optically anisotropic, bireflectant and is paramagnetic. The minerals occurs in a matrix of "pink dolomitic marble from a Precambrian metamorphic complex of gneisses, schists and marbles in the Nezhilovo area" of the Pelagonian massif.
fettelite
Fettelite, also known as sanguinite, is a mercury-sulfosalt mineral with the chemical formula Ag16HgAs4S15. The mineral was first described by Wang and Paniagua (1996) who named it after M. Fettel, a German field geologist who collected the first samples from Odenwald. It was first collected in the Nieder-Beerbach mine, 10 km south of Darmstadt, Odenwald, Germany. Its normal occurrence is in hydrothermal veins, which can cut gabbro-diorite intrusives. It is closely related to other rare minerals like dervillite, daomanite, vaughanite and criddleite which are also found in the same type lo
belovite-(La)
Belovite-(La) () is the lanthanum analogue of belovite-(Ce). It is a member in the belovite group being a subgroup of the apatite group.
