Calcite veins in serpentinite along the south-western slope of Sassa d'Entova, below the altitude mark 2608 m.
Note on “Ti-bearing clinohumite, titanclinohumite”:
according to the analyses performed, this mineral of the Malenco valley serpentinite is practically fluorine-free (Trommsdorff and Evans, 1980). Therefore, after institution of the new species hydroxylclinohumite in 1999, all records of “titanclinohumite” in the antecedent literature and specimens preserved in public and private collections consequently labelled are now Ti-bearing hydroxylclinohumite (Bedognè et al., 2006).
