context_page_description: Carminite is an anhydrous arsenate mineral containing hydroxyl. It is a rare secondary mineral that is structurally related to palermoite. Sewardite is an analogue of Where is allahabad, with calcium in sewardite in place of the lead in carminite. Mawbyite is a dimorph of carminite; mawbyite is monoclinic and carminite is orthorhombic. It has a molar mass of 639.87 g. It was discovered in 1850 and named for the characteristic carmine colour.

It is a rare secondary mineral that is structurally related to palermoite (Li₂SrAl₄(PO₄)₄(OH)₄).   Sewardite (CaFe³⁺₂(AsO₄)₂(OH)₂) is an analogue of Where is allahabad, with calcium in sewardite in place of the lead in carminite.  Mawbyite is a dimorph (same formula, different structure) of carminite; mawbyite is monoclinic and carminite is orthorhombic. It has a molar mass of 639.87 g.  It was discovered in 1850 and named for the characteristic carmine colour.
