Ferraioloite is a rare mineral[3] with formula MgMn2+4(Fe2+0.5Al0.5)4Zn4(PO4)8(OH)4(H2O)20. It is related to the phosphate mineral falsterite. Ferraioloite was found in pegmatites of the Foote Lithium Company Mine, Cleveland County, North Carolina, US.[2] [3] The name honors James (Jim) A. Ferraiolo (1947–2014).[4]
