Zemannita
Sign in to saveAlso known as IMA1968-009
Zemannite is a very rare oxide mineral with the chemical formula Mg0.5ZnFe3+[TeO3]3·4.5H2O. It crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal system and forms small prismatic brown crystals. Because of the rarity and small crystal size, zemannite has no applications and serves as a collector's item.

La zemannita es un mineral telurito de la clase de los minerales óxidos. Fue descubierta en 1961 en la mina Bambolla del municipio de Moctezuma, en el estado de Sonora (México), siendo nombrada así en honor de , cristaloquímico austriaco. Un sinónimo es su clave: IMA1968-009.
