Hollandite

Barium manganese oxide mineral

Hollandite (chemical formula: Ba(Mn4+6Mn3+2)O16) is a manganese oxide mineral. Its structure consists of double chains of MnO6 octahedra delimiting 2 × 2 tunnels. The electrostatic charge created by the Mn3+ for Mn4+ substitution is balanced by cations in the tunnels. Their nature determines the mineral species: Ba for hollandite, K for cryptomelane, Pb for coronadite, Sr for strontiomelane, Tl for thalliomelane, and Na for manjiroite. Pure species are rare and most 2 × 2 tectomanganates contain mixtures of several types of tunnel cations.
