EDX spectrum of Vismirnovite film groving over Kesterite crystal group from Huya. Small peak of Si is connected with minor admixture of opal. Recalculated formula of Vismirnovite is (Zn0.57Cu0.29Fe0.14)1.00Sn(OH)6.00. Analytical data for other points of the same particle of the film are (Zn0.51Cu0.31Fe0.19)1.01Sn0.99(OH)5.98 and (Zn0.43Cu0.39Fe0.17)0.99Sn1.01(OH)6.02. So we observe here wide isomorphic replacement toward to Mushistonite composition and not so pronounced to Natanite one. Pavel M. Kartashov analytical data, collection and photo.
