Hodgkinsonite

Hodgkinsonite

Hodgkinsonite is a rare zinc manganese silicate mineral Zn2MnSiO4(OH)2. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system and typically forms radiating to acicular prismatic crystals with variable color from pink, yellow-red to deep red. Hodgkinsonite was discovered in 1913 by H. H. Hodgkinson, for whom it is named in Franklin, New Jersey, and it is only found in that area. [ [http://mineral.galleries.com/minerals/silicate/hodgkins/hodgkins.htm THE MINERAL HODGKINSONITE] .
