PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
HOLLANDITE STAR CRYSTALS
Hollandite is a barium manganese oxide mineral (BaMn₈O₁₆) that forms black to steel-gray metallic crystals with a monoclinic structure. The mineral occurs primarily in metamorphosed manganese-rich deposits and hydrothermal veins,. Hollandite features a distinctive tunnel structure where barium cations occupy channels formed by manganese oxide octahedra, making it valuable for research in battery technology, catalysis, and nuclear waste storage applications.
