Zunyite is a rare aluminum silicate mineral with the formula Al₁₃Si₅O₂₀(OH,F)₁₈Cl. It crystallizes in the cubic system and typically forms reddish, brownish, or colorless isometric crystals. Zunyite often fluoresces under UV light and may contain hematite inclusions. It forms in fluorine-rich hydrothermal environments, especially in contact metamorphic zones. The type locality is the Zuni mine in New Mexico, USA. This page explores zunyite’s structure, formation, and importance to mineral collectors and researchers.
