Short summary
We described two new minerals, igelströmite and manganoschafarzikite, from the Långban manganese–iron deposit in Värmland, Sweden. The chemical formulae are Fe3+(Sb3+Pb2+)O4 and Mn2+Sb3+2O4, respectively. They belong to a new mineral group, where all members have the same crystal structure. It is called the minium group, after the lead-oxide mineral that is the oldest known substance of this kind.

We report the description and the characterization of a new mineral species, found in a rock sample from the geological formation called the Pilanesberg Complex, South Africa. This is a silicate mineral that contains a significant amount of sodium, calcium, iron, titanium and fluorine. Its atomic structure shows that it is related to other wöhlerite-group minerals. This work provides new insights into the crystallization conditions that ruled the formation of the Pilanesberg complex.
