This page is currently not sponsored. Click here to sponsor this page.
Formula:
[(Zn,Cu)2Al(OH)6][(SO4)0.5 · 3H2O]
actually more like [(Zn,Cu)2Al(OH)6][(H3O,Na)0.4(SO4,CO3)0.7.3H2O]
Crystal System:
Hexagonal
Corresponds to "specimen H858" (alleged cotype specimen of glaucocerinite). Compositionally close to zincowoodwardite but differs in terms of the unit cell.
It has a cation-ordered pyroaurite-like structure.
