Godovikovite

Named after Aleksander Aleksandrovich Godovikov, former Russian mineralogist and Director of the Fersman Mineralogical Museum in Moscow, Russia. Localities for Godovikovite include in Russia, and Tajikistan, as well as a few others. It occurs “as reaction crusts around outlets releasing sulfuric acid from burning coal heaps,” and is associated with anhydrous calcium and magnesium sulfates. Godovikovite is soluble in water.
