Chemical Properties

Chemical Formula: ☐{Mn²⁺2}{Fe²⁺5}(Si₈O₂₂)(OH)₂ Suenoite has Mn as the dominant in the B position. They are orthorhombic amphiboles in the magnesium-iron-manganese amphibole subgroup. The minerals in this root name group may have either Pnma or Pnmn (proto- prefixed name) space group symmetry. The suenoite is defined with A(Na+K+2Ca)<0.5 apfu and C(Al+Fe³⁺+2Ti)<1 apfu. Proto-ferro-suenoite is defined with Pnmn symmetry and and Fe²⁺ as the dominant element in the C position.
Elements: Fe, H, Mn, O, Si
