has gloss | eng: Jerrygibbsite (Mn,Zn)9(SiO4)4(OH)2 is an uncommon and relatively unknown mineral. It is believed to be a member of the leucophoenicite family, but this is unconfirmed and membership of the humite group is also possible. Jerrygibbsite was originally discovered by Pete J. Dunn in 1984 and named after a professor at Virginia State University and Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Professor Gerald V. Gibbs. It is a very rare mineral of which there are only five known samples, three of which having been discovered in Franklin, New Jersey, United States in 1984 and two in Namibia's Otjozondjupa region (by Pete Dunn), in 1988. Jerrygibbsite is closely related to both the leucophoenite family and the humite group by both crystal structure and chemical composition. It is always found with these two minerals, and is most likely a polymorph between leucophoenicite and the humite group mineral, sonolite. |
