Formula:
◻{Mn2+2}{Fe2+5}(Si8O22)(OH)2
Lustre:
Silky
Hardness:
5 - 6
Specific Gravity:
3.50
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
Formerly named dannemorite (1855) which was named after its locality. Renamed as manganogrunerite for its relationship to grunerite.
Synonym:
A synonym of Clino-ferro-suenoite
Manganogrunerite was the official name for this composition until the 2012 nomencalture report established a set of guidelines for establishing amphibole root-names. The then manganogrunerite qualified as a separate rootname together with the then manganocummingtonite. Oberti et al.(2017) established clino-suenoite and clino-ferro-suenoite as the names for manganocummingtonite and manganogrunerite respectively
