Stilpnomelane: Mineral information, data and localities.
Named in 1827 by Ernst Friedrich Glocke from Greek στιλπνοζ "stilpnos" ("shining"), and μελανοζ "melanos" ("black"), alluding to its appearance.
May be confused with biotite and other brownish mica, also with dark chlorite.
Plates or scales, plumose or radiating groups.
Ekmanite Obsolete name for a Mn-rich stilpnomelane; the name was discredited in 1954.
The Mica Subcommittee (1998) regarded this as possibly Smectite.
Ferrostilpnomelane A chemical variety of stilpnomelane noted for its being rich in ferrous iron, essentially an nearer to end-member stilpnomelane.
Manganoan Stilpnomelane A Mn-bearing variety of stilpnomelane.
Franklinphilite (K,Na)4(Mn2+,Mg,Zn)48(Si,Al)72(O,OH)216 · 6H2O Tric.
Lennilenapeite K6-7(Mg,Mn,Fe,Zn)48(Si,Al)72(O,OH)216 · 16H2O Tric.
