Species: | Ilesite |
Formula: | (Mn,Zn,Fe)SO4 · 4H2O |
Comments: | "This mineral is very similar to szmikite in appearance and habit, although it tends to be finer-grained and more glistening on broken surfaces of the crusts. It is also slightly harder and more compact. It can also form more open intergrowths of roughly spherical aggregates which appear to have partly dissolved. SEM examination of samples identified as ilesite by XRD does not show any consistent textural features, suggesting it has replaced another sulphate." |
