About JeanbandyiteHide

Formula:
Fe3+xFe2+1-xSn(OH)6-xOx (1 ≥ x > 0.5)
Ideal end-member: Fe3+Sn(OH)5O; originally assumed to be (Fe3+1-x,◻x)(Sn1-y,◻y)(OH)6
Colour:
brownish orange
Hardness:
3½
Specific Gravity:
3.81
Crystal System:
Tetragonal
Name:
Honouring Mrs. Jean Bandy (1900-1991), who donated to the Los Angeles Natural History Museum the collection on one of whose specimens this new mineral was discovered.
Dimorph of:
Natanite
Stottite Group. Jeanbandyite and natanite represent the only hydroxide-bearing minerals with dominant Fe and Sn.

Oxidised counterpart of natanite with partially deprotonated oxygen sites. Double perovskite of BB'(OH)6 type. The deprotonated domains have local short-range order.

A dark violet and hard mineral of the (Fe,Mn)(Sn,Ge)(OH)6 composition is reported as "Mineral D" and the Sn-analogue of stottite, from Tsumeb, Namibia (Geier & Ottemann, 1970).
