Putnisite: New Mineral Discovered in Australia.

"The new mineral is named putnisite after Drs Christine and Andrew Putnis from the University of Münster, Germany, for their outstanding contributions to mineralogy.
Putnisite occurs as isolated pseudocubic crystals, up to 0.5 mm in diameter, and is associated with quartz and a near amorphous Cr silicate.
Putnisite combines the elements strontium, calcium, chromium, sulfur, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen:

SrCa4Cr83+(CO3)8SO4(OH)16•25H2O

'Nature seems to be far cleverer at dreaming up new chemicals than any researcher in a laboratory,' Dr Elliott concluded.”
