Extract

Ojuelaite was described from its occurrence at the Ojuela mine in Mapimi, Mexico by Cesbron et al. (1981). Those authors suggested that the phase was isostructural with whitmoreite (Moore et al., 1974), a phase of interest because of the unique arrangement of Fe octaheda in its octahedral sheet.
