(Zn,Fe)(SO4).6H2O
Monoclinic
Bianchite, a zinc sulfate hydrate mineral, was first reported from Sterling Hill by Hendricks (1960), and another Sterling Hill occurrence was reported by Cook (1973). Subsequent reexamination of Cook’s material by the writer found it to be hexahydrite. An occurrence below the 700 level at Sterling Hill was described by Jenkins and Misiur (1994) as 2 mm “jackstraw aggregates of 20-30 micron needles or thin blades,” yellow-white, and occurring on secondary calcite or on sulfides; it is likely a post-mining mineral. Bianchite has not been reported from Franklin.
