	Scandiobabingtonite is isostructural with babingtonite, and has the same chemical properties as well. It is an inosilicate with 5-periodic single chains. Scandium replaces the Fe in babingtonite in six-fold coordination. The empirical chemical formula for scandiobabingtonite is (Ca,Na)(Fe,Mn)(Sc,Sn,Fe)SiO(OH). Simplified, the formula is Ca(Fe,Mn)ScSiO(OH)
