Formula:

(Na,Pb)(Ca,Na)CaMn2+2(AsO4)3

Colour:

Brown to yellowish brown; light yellow-brown in transmitted light.

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Name:

Named by C. Lundström in 1874 from the Greek κορύινος meaning "in error", not from καρύινος meaning "nut-brown coloured" in allusion to its colour. The original spelling was changed by Edward Dana in 1892.
