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

== Occurrence == Sabelliite occurs in quartzitic outcrops as small disc shaped crystals. Formed on foliated aggregates of theisite, which it is most similar to in both physical and chemical properties. Both sabelliite and theisite are believed to be weathering products of sulphides and sulphosalts.
