Environments
Manganflurlite is a relatively new mineral, approved in 2017 and to date (July 2022) reported only from the type
locality.
Localities
At the type locality, the Hagendorf South Pegmatite, Hagendorf, Waidhaus, Neustadt an der Waldnaab District, Upper
Palatinate, Bavaria, Germany, manganflurlite occurs as a late-stage, relatively low-temperature,
secondary hydrothermal mineral in a zoned
granitic
pegmatite. It has been found on two specimens of
phosphophyllite as long, very thin, rectangular laths, up to 0.5 mm
long and less than 10 μm thick. Associated minerals include
phosphophyllite,
hydroxylapatite,
jahnsite-(CaMnFe), apatite,
mitridatite and zinc-bearing
rockbridgeite
(EJM 31.1.127-134, HOM).
