Bismutoferrite, chapmanite, and "hypochlorite"

Restudy of material labeled bismutoferrite and hypochlorite in various museum collections, most of which came from localities in Saxony, Germany, leads to the conclusion that "bismutoferrite and chapmanite . . . form a homologous and presumably isostructural group of two valid species; the name...

Description
Summary:Restudy of material labeled bismutoferrite and hypochlorite in various museum collections, most of which came from localities in Saxony, Germany, leads to the conclusion that "bismutoferrite and chapmanite . . . form a homologous and presumably isostructural group of two valid species; the name 'hypochlorite,' which has been used to designate a characteristic mixture of either of these minerals dispersed in quartz or chalcedony, may well be discarded."
