Axinite-(Mn): Mineral information, data and localities.
The iron-rich mineral was named axinite in 1797 by Rene Just Haüy from the Greek αξίνα ("axina") for "axe", in allusion to the common habit of its crystals. Manganese-dominant axinite chemical analyses were reported by Frederick A. Genth in 1891, who noted that Franklin, New Jersey axinite had the highest known manganese contents. Robert Mauzelius also found manganese-dominant axinite in 1895. Manganaxinite was named by Waldemar T. Schaller in 1909 and mangaxinit was used by J. Fromme in 1909, both mentioning Franklin, New Jersey. Manganoaxinite was used by Schaller in 1911, but Schaller did not provide a species description as his research material was "destroyed by fire." Manganaxinite was used by Gregori Aminoff in 1919 when referring to specimens from Franklin, New Jersey, USA and a complete species description was finally made by Charles Palache in 1929 and was expanded by Palache (1935), both based on Franklin, New Jersey specimens. Renamed with suffix "-(Mn)" by IMA in 2007.
