Naturally occurring freudenbergite is a solid solution of two end members Na2Fe +32Ti6O16 and Na2Fe +2Ti7O16, which were referred to as low-Ti and high-Ti freudenbergite, respectively Both varieties were found in the course of close examination of samples from the Katzenbuckel Complex, Germany, in which this mineral was documented for the first time As a possible mineral Fe2+ analog was named UM1983-07-O:FeNaTi
