You may remember that recently I told you we would look at other minerals which look like dead grass. This is one. The sample is from De-mix Varennes qy.,Saint Amable sill Varennes Quebec,Canada. This is the type locality for this mineral. Min-dat says its color ranges from pink to pale violet brown.

It is named for Yves Oscar Fortier, Director of the Geological Survey of Canada, whose dates are(1914-2014) He lived a good long life!

Mn5Si8O20(OH)2 · 8-9H2O is its formula.
It appears to me that its primary use is mineral collection.
FYI, the "dead grass" are actually crystals.
