- (Bertaut, 1950) originally identified the mineral warwickite, but his analysis was not complete. (Buerger, 1972) and (Venkatakrishnan, 1972) redetermined the structure. They described it in the $Pnam$ setting of space group #62. We used FINDSYM to change this to the standard $Pnma$ setting, which involved a rotation of the axes.
- The ICSD entry is from (Venkatakrishnan, 1972), with the identical structure also appearing in (Buerger, 1972).
