System:TriclinicColour:Light green, greenish ...
Hardness:2½
Member of:Symplesite Group
Name:Named by Johan Friedrich August Breithaupt in 1837 from the Greek 'ουν' and 'πλησιαζειν' meaning 'to bring together' because of its relationship with other minerals.
Dimorph of:Parasymplesite


Symplesite Group.

The Fe2+ may oxidise to a significant degree to Fe3+ (see ferrisymplesite) with an accompanying change in colour and optical properties analogous to Vivianite.
