Short summary
Skogbyite, with the chemical formula Zr(Mg2+2Mn3+4)SiO12, is a new species in the braunite group of minerals. It was discovered in a complex mineral assemblage, essentially a very poor manganese ore, from the Långban Fe–Mn oxide deposit, Värmland County, Bergslagen ore province, Sweden. It is named after the Swedish mineralogist Henrik Skogby (b. 1956). It is a new mineral attesting to the localised mobility and reactivity of zirconium under very special geological conditions.
