System:MonoclinicColour:Brown, red brown
Hardness:4½
Member of:Jahnsite Group
Name:Named for Erich Keck, collector specializing in Hagendorf minerals.


A special member of the jahnsite group which contains trivalent iron not only at the C site but also at the B site.

Note: According to Hochleitner & Fehr (2010), keckite from Hagendorf forms golden-yellow to orange fibrous crusts which are intimately associated with rockbridgeite-frondelite. Specimens showing distinct "keckite" crystals in collections were found to be always either jahnsite-(CaMnFe) or jahnsite-(CaMnMn).

Compare Jahnsite-(CaMnFe).
