System:OrthorhombicHardness:3½
Name:For Gustav Adolf Hageman, chemical engineer for the Cryolite Firm (Ivigtut, Greenland)
Isostructural with:Terrywallaceite


Gustavite-Lillianite Series.

Natural gustavite appears to be monoclinic (Harris & Chen, 1975; Makovicky & Karup-Møller, 1977) due to Ag-Bi ordering, while synthetic gustavite was found to be orthorhombic (Bente et al., 1993).
An Sb-rich, monoclinic gustavite has been characterised by Pazout & Dusek (2009); it may be a new species.
