Braunite has the chemical formula: A chemical formula (also called molecular formula) is a concise way of expressing information about the atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound. ...
Brandtite occurs as white to colourless massive shists, as crystals of 2 cm in length and 1 - 3 mm thick, combined to sub parallel to radial aggregates embedded in gaps of braunite together with grischunite, sarkinite, geigerite, tilasite and manganese-berzeliite or as a lawn of white crystals of some mm size.
Braunite is the manganese ore exploited at Falotta.
Sarkinite is associated with brandtite, grischunite, tilasite, kutnahorite, manganoan-berzeliite and manganoan calcite.
