Zanelliite
Zanelliite is a monoclinic mineral with a space group of 15. It is a tectosilicate, a classification group of minerals characterized by a three-dimensional framework of silicon and oxygen atoms. The mineral has a chemical formula that reflects this tectosilicate structure. While specific physical properties such as hardness, density, luster, and color are not provided, zanelliite is recognized as a distinct mineral species by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA). Its monoclinic crystal system indicates that it forms crystals with two axes of equal length and one axis of different length, intersecting at oblique angles.
