Abstract

Chemical analyses for ganomalite from Franklin, New Jersey, and Jakobsberg, Nordmark, Sweden, imply that Mn is an essential element and that the formula is Pb9Ca5MnSi9O33, with Z = 1 for the hexagonal unit cell. Preliminary crystal structure data confirm that Mn and Ca are ordered, as implied by the chemical analyses. Ganomalite is hexagonal, space group P3, with a = 9.82 and c = 10.13 Å. Occurrences of samples from both localities are described, together with analytical data for macedonite from Jakobsberg.
