   • 2005, Riccardo BASSO, Roberto CABELLA, Gabriella LUCCHETTI, Alberto MARTINELLI, Andrea PALENZONA, Vanadiocarpholite, Mn2+V3+Al(Si₂O₆)(OH)₄, a new mineral from the Molinello mine, northern Apennines, Italy:

     The crystal structure refinement indicates vanadiocarpholite to be isotypic with carpholite, therefore it belongs to the carpholite group together with carpholite, magnesiocarpholite, ferrocarpholite, balipholite and potassic-carpholite.
