About CharmariteHide

Formula:
Mn2+4Al2(OH)12[CO3] · 3H2O
Name:
Named in 1997 by George Y. Chao and Robert A. Gault for Charles [1917-2003] and Marcelle [September 19, 1918 - 2003] Weber, amateur mineralogists of Guilford, Connecticut, USA, who contributed extensively to the knowledge of Mt. Saint-Hilaire, and who also found the mineral.
Found as the polytypes Charmarite-2H and Charmarite-3T.
