When Jim Farraiolo was still alive, people would joke with him that, if ever a mineral were to be named after him, it should be a complex phosphate with Al and Mn. That way, after all the Fe analogues were discovered, the world could have a ferroferriferraioloite. It seems that, after his death, the joke has come true. His spirit must be smiling  ;)
