System:TrigonalColour:Amber-yellow to dark ...
Lustre:Sub-Adamantine, Vitreous, ResinousHardness:4 - 4½
Member of:Jarosite Subgroup
Name:In allusion to its composition with the dominant HYDRONIUM (H3O+) cation and its relationship to JAROSITE.


Alunite Group, Jarosite subgroup.

Typically ocherous, amber to dark brown granular masses or crystalline to earthy crusts.

Identification of this mineral requires quantitative infra-red spectroscopy (IR) in order to confirm the dominance of hydronium ions. A combination of XRD and EDS techniques is not sufficient (Anatoly Kasatkin, pers. commun.; see: http://www.mindat.org/mesg-7-208364.html).

Classification of Hydroniumjarosite

IMA status:Approved
Nickel-Strunz 10th (pending) edition ID:7.BC.10

7 : SULFATES (selenates, tellurates, chromates, molybdates, wolframates)
B : Sulfates (selenates, etc.) with additional anions, without H2O
C : With medium-sized and large cations
Dana 7th edition ID:30.2.5.3
Hey's CIM Ref.:25.10.19

25 : Sulphates
10 : Sulphates of Fe alone
