Short summary
Pleysteinite has been approved as a new mineral species, and we describe here the characterisation of the mineral and its relationship to related minerals benyacarite, paulkerrite and mantienneite. The characterisation includes the determination and refinement of the crystal structure, electron microprobe analyses, optical properties and interpretation of its Raman spectrum.
