Closely related to tyrolite (that contains no sulphate, but carbonate instead). In fact, the space group is identical with and the unit-cell parameters are very close to those of the 2M-polytype of tyrolite (C2/c; a = 54.520(6), b = 5.5638(6), c = 10.4647(10) Å, beta = 96.432(9)°; Krivovichev et al., 2006).
