About FerrotychiteHide

Formula:

Na₆(Fe,Mn,Mg)₂(CO₃)₄(SO₄)

Colour:

Gold-brown by a surface film of alteration product. On fresh surfaces, it is colorless to light yellow.

Member of:

Northupite Group

Name:

From Greek τυχή, "tyche", luck or chance, because the first and only one of the last ten crystals of a stock of about 5000 crystals of northupite being examined by Penfield and Jamieson were tychite, plus the prefix "FERRO-" from the Latin ferrum = iron, in allusion to the dominance of iron in the composition.

Type Locality:
