New data on the composition and genesis of volkonskoite, based on mineralogical investigation of the mineral are presented. Scanned electron microscopy (SEM) investigations of volkonskoites reveal an undoubted role of bacterial activity in volkonskoite formation, i.e.: in the chromium (Cr) concentration and fixation in the smectite structure.
