Locality type:

Pit

Classification

Species:

Qitianlingite

Formula:

(Fe,Mn)₂(Nb,Ta)₂WO₁₀

Comments:

Microscopic inclusion in topaz. Inclusions in topaz analyzed only by ICP-OES and Raman spectrometry. Without XRD orthorhombic qitianlingite can not be distinguished from monoclinic "wolframoixiolite". Qitianlingite must be therefore regarded as unconfirmed.

Confirmation

Validity:

Unconfirmed/Questioned
