About Labuntsovite-MnHide

02642390014947074957902.jpg
Russian mineralogist Aleksander Nikolaevich Labuntsov.
Formula:
Na4K4(Ba,K)2Mn2+(Ti,Nb)8(Si4O12)4(O,OH)8 · 10-12H2O
Colour:
Brownish-yellow, bright orange, dark-red
Lustre:
Greasy
Hardness:
6
Specific Gravity:
2.89 - 3.02
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
Originally named labuntsovite after the Russian mineralogists Aleksander Nikolaevich Labuntsov and Ekaterina Eutiikkieva Labuntsov-Kostyleva (for whom the mineral kostylevite is also named). Aleksander Labuntsov had earlier discovered the mineral and described it as titaniferous elpidite. The suffix/modifier was added in 2000.
This is the original labuntsovite. It is now designated labuntsovite-Mn for the dominance of manganese among the divalent cations.
