Pharmacosiderite Group.
The tetragonal-pseudocubic Ba-Fe-end member. Forms solid solutions with pharmacosiderite, natropharmacosiderite, pharmacoalumite and other members of the pharmacosiderite group.
The polymorphs bariopharmacosiderite-C (cubic) and bariopharmacosiderite-Q (tetragonal) are described by Hager et al. (2010).
