A valid IMA mineral species
This page is currently not sponsored. Click here to sponsor this page.
Formula:
(Mo2O5)(S4+O3) · 4H2O
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
New structure type; the first mineral species to bear the divalent Mo2O5 oxycation (dimolybdenyl; similar species is liangjunite). Also the first natural molybdenum sulfite to date.
Compare bouškaite - yet another molybdenyl sulfate mineral.
Also compare novikovite and hasanovite.
