GeneralJunction Mine BH pyrosmalite

That someone doesn't seem to be traceable by me so I can't determine how the ID was confirmed etc. Does anyone know the up to date ID info on the 'pyrosmalite'?

Also all BH pyrosmalite specimens in Mindat seem to be variably classified as pyrosmalite-(Mn) or pyrosmalite-(Fe) and as most are intermediate and few of these have been analysed I wonder if many of these should be classified under the series rather than the specific species?
