Abstract
To the 247 species, of which 20 are doubtful, occurring at the Somma-Vesuvius volcanic complex, after the
recent updating of the fluoro-edenite (despite the collecting ban) it has to be added the identification of a
new common species, never occurred before. A sample belonging to Luigi Chiappino, found in 1989 at
San Vito quarry, Ercolano, Napoli, was analyzed through SEM-EDX and the analysis identified the wulfenite
on massive galena, as millimetrical, bipyramidal crystals, resinous, of yellow-orange colour, associated with
calcite, cerussite and sphalerite.Published175-1763.5. Geologia e storia dei vulcani ed evoluzione dei magmiN/A or not JCRope
