A valid IMA mineral species
About Jahnsite-(MnMnZn)Hide
This section is currently hidden. Click the show button to view.
Formula:
Mn2+Mn2+Zn2Fe3+2(PO4)4(OH)2 · 8H2O
Colour:
light golden brown
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
From the root name Jahnsite and the metal occupancy of crystallographic sites.
Analogue of other jahnsite group species, so no other name would be acceptable.
The group name jahnsite is in honor of Richard Henry Jahns (10 March 1915, Los Angeles, California, USA - 31 December 1983, Palo Alto, California, USA), mineralogist and pegmatite expert, Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, USA.
