Jacobsite is a manganese iron oxide mineral. It is in the spinel group and forms a solid solution series with magnetite. The chemical formula is MnFe2O4 or with oxidation states and substitutions: (Mn2+,Fe2+,Mg)(Fe3+,Mn3+)2O4.[1][3]
It occurs as a primary phase or as alteration of other manganese minerals during metamorphism of manganese deposits.[3] Typical associated minerals include hausmannite, galaxite, braunite, pyrolusite, coronadite, hematite and magnetite.[1]
It was first described in 1869 and named for the Jakobsberg Mine, Nordmark, Filipstad, Värmland, Sweden.[2]
