Jahnsite-(NaMnMn)

Jahnsite-(NaMnMn) is an IMA-recognized mineral species in the phosphate class, with the chemical formula NaMn²⁺(Mn²⁺Fe³⁺)Fe³⁺₂(PO₄)₄(OH)₂·8H₂O.

It crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system (space group P2/a). It is a member of the Jahnsite structural group.

IMA symbol Jah-NaMnMn, IMA status: approved, named in 2019.

A low temperature, secondary mineral produced through alteration of primary phosphates in zoned granitic pegmatite.

It is found associated with Data pending full publication.

Root name, Jahnsite, indicates a member of the group with M(3) = Fe3+; the suffix indicates sequentially the dominant atom in the X, M(1), and M(2) structural positions.
