Brokenhillite (German: Brokenhillit Spanish: Brokenhillita) is an earth mineral that exists in small quantities. It is only found in the far-western regions of New South Wales in Broken Hill Australia. Although it has been given a name and chemical formula it has not been approved by the International Mineralogy Association primarily because it is a manganese silicate of the pyrosmalite group which means the compositional similarities are too great to be an approved mineral.
