We have undertaken a study of the arsenate mineral chongite from the second world occurrence, which is Jáchymov (Czech Republic). Chongite occurs as colourless to white crystalline spherical and hemispherical aggregates up to 0.3 mm across composed of rich crusts on strongly weathered fragments of rocks and gangue. The chemical composition of chongite agrees well with the general stoichiometry of the hureaulite group of minerals and corresponds to the following empirical formula: Ca1.00(Mg1.24Ca0.69 0.06Mn0.01)Σ2.00Ca2.00[(AsO3OH)2.13(AsO4)1.84(PO4)0.03]Σ4.00·4H2O. In this work the mineral's structure and its properties were studied and the results are presented.
