Genplesite is a very rare tin mineral[1] coming from the Oktyabr'skoe deposit in the Noril'sk area, Russia, which is known for nickel and platinum group elements minerals.[3] Its chemical formula is Ca3Sn(SO4)2(OH)6•3H2O.[1][2] Genplesite is a member of the fleischerite group,[1] and it is a calcium and tin-analogue of fleischerite.[4] It is hexagonal, with space group P63/mmc.[1]
