Lipscombite (Fe,Mn)(Fe)2(PO4)2(OH)2 is a green gray, olive green, or black. phosphate-based mineral containing iron, magnesium, and iron phosphate.
Lipscombite is often formed at meteorite impact sites where its crystals are microscopically small, because crystal-forming conditions of pressure and temperature are brief.
