Abstract 2.5 2 + Ti0.5) Al6 (Si6 O18)(BO3) 3 (OH) 3 O, has been discovered in an outcrop of a Permian metarhyolite near the hamlet of Fornovolasco, Apuan Alps, Tuscany, Italy. It occurs as chemically homogeneous domains, up to 0.5 mm, brown in colour, with a light-brown streak and a vitreous lustre, within anhedral to subhedral prismatic crystals, up to 1 mm in size, closely associated with Fe-rich oxy-dravite. Dutrowite is trigonal, space group R m a = 15.9864 (8), c = 7.2187 (4)  Å, V = 1597.68 (18)  Å3, and Z = 3. The crystal structure was refined to R 1 = 0.0257 for 1095 unique reflections with F o > 4 σ (F o X (Na0.81 Ca0.20 K0.01)Σ 1.02 Y (Fe1.25 2 + Mg0.76 Ti0.56 Al0.42)Σ 3.00 Z (Al4.71 Fe0.27 3 + V0.02 3 + Mg0.82 Fe0.18 2 +)Σ 6.00 T [(Si5.82 Al0.18)Σ 6.00 18 ] (BO3) 3 O (3) (OH) 3 O (1) [O0.59 (OH) 0.41 ]Σ 1.00 X (Na0.81 Ca0.20 K0.01)Σ 1.02 Y (Fe1.43 2 + Mg1.00 Ti0.56)Σ 3.00 Z (Al5.13 Fe0.27 3 + V0.02 3 + Mg0.58)Σ 6.00 T [(Si5.82 Al0.18)Σ 6.00 18 ] (BO3) 3 V 3 W [O0.59 (OH) 0.41 ]Σ 1.00 3 + = 4 + + 2 +. Its occurrence seems to be related to late-stage high-T/low-P replacement of “biotite” during the late-magmatic/hydrothermal evolution of the Permian metarhyolite.
