Lednevite (original) (raw)

A valid IMA mineral species

Formula:

Cu[PO3(OH)] · H2O

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Name:

named for Vladimir Sergeevich Lednev, amateur mineralogist from Barnaul (Altai Krai) who collected the sample with the new mineral.

Known synthetic analogue. A "stoichiometric" P-"analogue" of geminite, but this is not a true analogy due to structural misfit.
