About Söhngeite SubgroupHide

A group of simple metal hydroxides with the above general formula, where M = Fe, In, Ga. Newly defined (Mitchell et al., 2017) as A-site vacant double hydroxide perovskites (one of 3 groups defined this way).

Bernalite may be stabilised by very small amounts of six-coordinated Si.

Locality ListHide

- This locality has map coordinates listed. - This locality has estimated coordinates. ⓘ - Click for references and further information on this occurrence. ? - Indicates mineral may be doubtful at this locality. - Good crystals or important locality for species. - World class for species or very significant. (TL) - Type Locality for a valid mineral species. (FRL) - First Recorded Locality for everything else (eg varieties). Struck out - Mineral was erroneously reported from this locality. Faded * - Never found at this locality but inferred to have existed at some point in the past (e.g. from pseudomorphs).

All localities listed without proper references should be considered as questionable.
