Alluaudite is a relatively common alkaline manganese iron phosphate mineral with the chemical formula (Na,Ca)Mn2+(Fe3+,Mn2+,Fe2+,Mg)2(PO4)3.
It occurs as metasomatic replacement in granitic pegmatites and within phosphatic nodules in shales.
[3] It was first described in 1848 for an occurrence in Skellefteå, Västerbotten, Sweden.
It was named by Alexis Damour after François Alluaud (II) (1778–1866).
