Ferrotellurite

A synonym of Keystoneite
This page is currently not sponsored. Click here to sponsor this page.
Formula:
Fe(TeO4) (?)
Name:
Named in 1877 by Frederick Genth for the chemical composition: "Composition probably FeTeO4; the small quantity in hand did not allow of a reliable analysis." Recent search for a valid ferrotellurite specimen was unsuccessful. A "ferrotellurite" specimen with Frederick Genth's label proved to be the new species keystoneite.
Synonym:
A synonym of Keystoneite
"... under the microscope it appears as very delicate tufts of straw-yellow to lemon yellow crystals, inclining to greenish-yellow."

A ill-defined mineral. Discredited by IMA in 2019. Showed to be equivalent to keystoneite, Mg0.5NiFe3+(Te4+O3)3•4.5H2O.
