Mohrite, (NH 4 ) 2 Fe(SO 4 ) 2 ·6 H 2 O, is a rare ammonium iron(II) sulfate mineral originally found in the geothermal fields of Tuscany, Italy. This Fe-dominant analogue of boussingaultite is sometimes reported from burning coal dumps where it is a product of pyrite oxidation. The mineral crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with space group P2 1 /a.
