About Unnamed (Fe3+-analogue of Piemontite-(Sr))Hide

Formula:
(CaSr)(Fe3+AlMn3+)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH)
Found as grains up to 1 mm in a metamorphosed manganese mineralization (Kolitsch et al., 2021). Some grains are very close to the end-member composition, and some contain a Pb-rich rim. A crystal structure determination is under way.
