OBS

Hanksite is an unusual mineral mostly because of its formula. It is one of only a handful of minerals that contain both carbonate and sulfate in groups. This brings up the question : to what mineral class does it belong? Some mineral references place it in the sulfate class simply because there are more sulfate groups in its structure than carbonate groups.
