Short summary
Ardennite is a rare Mn-rich aluminosilicate that was originally described in Salmchâteau, Belgium. In the last few years, new samples of ardennites have been found at several localities close to Salmchâteau. These samples were analysed by electron microprobe, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and infrared spectroscopy. The results given in this paper allow us to identify the main substitution mechanisms that occur in Belgian ardennites and to discuss the nomenclature of the ardennite group.
