摘要: A new mineral, eldfellite, was found among fumarolic encrustations collected in 1990 on the Eldfell volcano, Heimaey Island, Iceland. Associated minerals are ralstonite, anhydrite, gypsum, bassanite, hematite, opal and tamarugite, as well a presumably mineral with composition Na 3 Fe(SO 4 ) . Along eldfellite forms soft fragile aggregates built of thin, platy crystals micrometre size.
