Piccoliite, ideally NaCaMn 3+ 2(AsO4)2O(OH), is a new mineral discovered in the Fe-Mn ore hosted in metaquartzites of the Montaldo di Mondovì mine, Corsaglia Valley, Cuneo Province, Piedmont, Italy. It occurs as small and rare black crystals and aggregates hosted by a matrix of quartz, associated with calcite and berzeliite/manganberzeliite. It has been also found in the Valletta mine near (Canosio, Maira Valley, Cuneo Province, Piedmont, Italy), where it occurs embedded in quartz associated with grandaite, hematite, tilasite/adelite and rarely thorianite. The mineral is opaque (thin splinters may be very dark red), with brown streak and has a resinous to vitreous lustre. It is brittle with irregular fracture. No cleavage has been observed. Measured Mohs hardness is ∼5-5.5. Calculated density is 4.08 g⋅cm -3 . Piccoliite is non-fluorescent. Chemical spot analyses by WDS-EPMA resulted in the empirical formula (based on 10 anions pfu) (Na0.64Ca0.35)Σ0.99(Ca0.75Na0.24)Σ0.99(Mn 3+ 1.08Fe 3+ 0.59Mg0.20Ca0.10)Σ1.97 (As2.03V0.03Si0.01)Σ2.07O9(OH) and (Na0.53Ca0.47)Σ1.00(Ca0.76Na0.23Sr0.01)Σ1.00(Mn 3+ 0.63Fe 3+ 0.49Mg0.48Mn 4+ 0.34Ca0.06)Σ2.00 (As1.97P0.01Si0.01)Σ1.99O9(OH) for the Montaldo di Mondovì and Valletta samples, respectively. The mineral is orthorhombic, Pbcm, with single-crystal unit-cell parameters a = 8.8761(9), b = 7.5190(8), c = 11.689(1) Å and V = 780.1(1) Å 3 (Montaldo di Mondovì sample) and a = 8.8889(2), b = 7.5269(1), c = 11.6795(2) Å, V = 781.43(2) Å 3 (Valletta sample) with Z = 4.
