Short summary
Dacostaite is a new fluoride–arsenate mineral found in the Sb(Au) deposit of the Cetine di Cotorniano Mine (Tuscany, Italy). It shows a novel crystal structure formed by heteropolyhedral layers and isolated Mg(H2O)6 groups connected by H bonds. The heteropolyhedral layers are similar to those occurring in alunite-supergroup minerals, and this is a further example of the ability of nature to use similar modules in forming the large number of currently known structural arrangements.
