Vargite
Vargite is a rare copper manganese arsenate hydroxide mineral with the chemical formula Cu2Mn3(AsO4)2(OH)4(H2O)4. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system and is classified under the Strunz classification as 8.DD. This mineral exhibits a vitreous to pearly luster and typically displays a greenish or yellowish color. It has a relatively low hardness and a moderate density. Vargite is a member of the inosilicate mineral group, though its structure is more complex due to the presence of arsenate and hydroxide ions. It is of interest to mineralogists due to its unique chemical composition and crystal structure.
