About Tsumcorite Group
Formula:
AM2(XO4)2(OH,H2O)2
A group of complex phosphates, arsenates, vanadates and sulphates with a complicated crystal chemistry (symmetry either triclinic or monoclinic, depending on various ordering schemes).
In the general formula given above, A is typically Pb or Ca, rarely Bi, M is typically Fe3+ Mn, Cu, Zn, Co or Ni and X is typically P, As or V (natrochalcite and kaliochalcite are the only natural sulphate members so far).
