About ZinnwalditeHide

Lustre:

Vitreous, Pearly

Member of:

Trioctahedral mica Group > Mica Group

Name:

Named after its discovery locality at Zinnwald, on the border between Germany and the Czech Republic. Zinnwald was named for its tin deposits.

Series Formula:

KFe₂²⁺Al(Al₂Si₂O₁₀)(OH)₂ to KLi₂Al(Si₄O₁₀)(F,OH)₂

A series between Siderophyllite and Polylithionite

Mica Group.

No longer a species - a series of trioctahedral micas on, or close to, the siderophyllite-polylithionite join; dark micas containing lithium (Rieder et al., 1998).

-1M, -2M, and -3T polytypes are known.

The original zinnwaldite material came from Cínovec / Zinnwald (Cinvald), Erzgebirge; Krusné Hory Mts, Saxony & Ústí Region (Bohemia; Böhmen; Boehmen), Germany & Czech Republic.
