Formula:

K2(Ti,Nb)2(Si4O12)(OH,O)2 · 4H2O

Crystal System:

Orthorhombic

Name:

Originally named lemmleinite (without suffix) in honor of Georgy Glebovich Lemmlein (Георгий Глебович Леммлейн) (1901-1962), Russian mineralogist and crystallographer. The suffix was added in 2002 to fit the recommended nomenclature for labuntsovite-group minerals.
