About Manganese-bearing VesuvianiteHide

Formula:
Ca19(Fe3+,Mn2+,Mn3+)Al4(Al6Mg2)(◻4)◻[Si2O7]4[(SiO4)10](O,OH)(OH)9
A manganese-bearing variety of vesuvianite, used without knowing the valence of the manganese. As the term "manganoan" has traditionally been reserved for a lower oxidation state of manganese (c.f. "manganian" for the higher oxidation state), "manganese-bearing" should really be the preferred term if the relative abundances of Mn2+ and Mn3+ are unknown.
Compare manganvesuvianite.
