Addi­tional Informa­tion

Die IMA hat ds Mineral formal 2004 anerkannt (IMA2004-051). Einige Mitglieder drängten jedoch auf eine Nachprüfung des Minerals (IMA1969-002). Nach Prüfung stellte sich heraus, dass die früher ermittelten Zellparameter falsch waren und die Minerale identisch sind. Die Anerkennung des Minerals IMA2004-051 wird in Folge dessen annuliert.
