Short summary
Two new minerals, zhenruite, ideally (MoO3)2·H2O, and tianhuixinite, ideally (MoO3)3·H2O, are described. Zhenruite is monoclinic with space group P21/m and unit-cell parameters a = 9.6790(6), b = 3.70653(19), c = 7.1029(4) Å, β = 102.391(5)°, V = 248.89(2) Å3, and Z =2. Tianhuixinite is hexagonal with space group P63/m and unit-cell parameters a = 10.5963(12), c = 3.7216(4) Å, V = 361.88(9) Å3, and Z =2.
