A rare carbonate mineral composed of magnesium and iron carbonates, found in metamorphic and hydrothermal environments.
Named after Italian mineralogist and geologist Luigi Brugnatelli in the 19th century, using the mineralogical suffix '-ite' to denote a specific mineral species.
Brugnatellite is so rare that most geologists will never see a sample in their lifetime—it exists in only a handful of locations on Earth, making it less common than many gemstones people wear as jewelry.
