It was first described in 1835 for an occurrence on Mt. Vesuvius, Italy. The name is from the Greek άφθητος, "unalterable", and άλας, "salt", for its stability in air.[1] It occurs as fumarolic incrustations in volcanic environments, as small crystals and masses in evaporite deposits and in guano deposits.[2][3] It occurs associated with thenardite, jarosite, sylvite and hematite in fumaroles; with blodite, syngenite, mirabilite, picromerite, borax and halite in evaporites; and with syngenite, whitlockite, monetite, niter and gypsum in guano deposits.[3] References{{commons category|Aphthitalite}}1. ^1 Mindat.org {{sulfate-mineral-stub}}2. ^1 Webmineral data 3. ^1 2 Handbook of Mineralogy 4 : Sulfate minerals|Potassium minerals|Sodium minerals|Trigonal minerals |
