Fassaite is a variety of augite with a very low iron content, Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.Ca(Mg,Fe,Al)(Si,Al)2O6.[2] It is named after the Fassa Valley, Italy.
It is thought to be a contact mineral formed at high temperature on the interface between volcanic rocks and limestone. It is also reported in meteorites.[3]
