Name: Ferrobobfergusonite
RRUFF ID: R140993
Ideal Chemistry: ◻Na2Fe2+5Fe3+Al(PO4)6
Locality: Victory mine, Custer, Custer District, Custer County, South Dakota, USA
Source: Rock Currier [view label]
Owner: RRUFF
Description: Dark green aggregates of blocky crystals, associated with quartz and muscovite. Four different dark green minerals are found: schorl, fillowite, ferrobobfergusonite, and ferrowyllieite. Light green crystals are arrojadite. This is the type sample
Status: The identification of this mineral is confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis.
