System:MonoclinicColour:Greyish-brown, ...
Hardness:2½ - 4
Name:Named after its discovery locality at Zinnwald, on the border between Germany and the Czech Republic. Zinnwald was named for its tin deposits.


Mica Group.

No longer a species - a series of trioctahedral micas on, or close to, the siderophyllite-polylithionite join; dark micas containing lithium.

-1M, -2M, and -3T polytypes are known.

The original zinnwaldite material came from Cínovec / Zinnwald (Cinvald), Erzgebirge; Krusné Hory Mts, Saxony & Ústí Region (Bohemia; Böhmen; Boehmen), Germany & Czech Republic.
