Mohrite

Mohrite, (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2·6(H2O), is a rare sulfate mineral originally found in the geothermal fields of Tuscany, Italy.[1] This Fe-dominant analogue of boussingaultite is sometimes reported from burning coal dumps.[2][3][4]

The mineral crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with space group P21/a.[5]
