Summary

Smolyaninovite, (Co, Ni, Ca, Mg)3 (Fe, Al)2 (AsO4)4. 11H2O, has recently been recognized in the mineralized region around Mount Cobalt, Queensland. It is a soft polycrystalline earthy yellow-brown material, is probably the weathering product of cobaltian arsenopyrite or alloclase, and shows para-magnetic properties.
