Artinite is a hydrated magnesium carbonate mineral with formula: Mg2(CO3)(OH)2·3H2O. It forms white silky monoclinic prismatic crystals that are often in radial arrays or encrustations. It has a Mohs hardness of 2.5 and a specific gravity of 2. It occurs in low-temperature hydrothermal veins and in serpentinized ultramafic rocks. Associated miner...

Artinite is both a hydrous and a hydrated white mineral occurring in serpentine and other igneous rocks. Artinite has monoclinic crystals, and is found both as massive aggregates and in sprays of needle-shaped growths. Artinite was confirmed as a distinct species in 1903 and named after the mineralogist Ettore Artinini.

(Hydrated Magnesium Carbonate Hydroxide) Artinite is a somewhat rare carbonate mineral. It forms as a crust of acicular to fibrous crystal aggregates sometimes collected into tight perfectly spherical balls. It is always associated with ultra-basic igneous and metamorphic rocks such as serpentinite. It often surprises people w...
