About Germanite Group
Note: Strunz and Nickel (2001) put all colusite-germanite minerals in a "germanite-mooihoekite group". Within this group, colusite minerals are the V-bearing representatives.
Compare also the Talnakhite Group and the stannite-group mineral briartite, often associated with germanite-group minerals.
