- This orthorhombic structure of staurolite determined by (Náray-Szabó, 1929) was given the Strukturbericht designation $S0_{4}$ by (Hermann, 1937). (Smith, 1968) showed that the true structure is monoclinic with $\beta ≈ 90^\circ$, rather than orthorhombic, and corrected the chemical composition of the mineral. Accordingly, we have marked this version of the structure as obsolete, but retain it for historical interest.
- We take our data from (Hermann, 1937), who presented it in the $Ccmm$ representation of space group #63. We used findsym to transform the structure to the standard $Cmcm$ representation.
- (Hermann, 1937) also gave this the label $H5_{4}$ in the index.
- One sixth of the oxygen sites listed here should actually be OH ions, but the positions of the hydrogen atoms were not given in (Náray-Szabó, 1929) and are labeled as O.
