The crystal structure of the mineral junitoite, ideally CaZn 2 Si 2 O 7 ·H 2 O (calcium dizinc disilicate monohydrate), was first determined by Hamilton & Finney [ Mineral. Mag . (1985),  49 , 91–95] based on the space group  Ama 2, yielding a reliability factor  R  of 0.10, with isotropic displacement parameters for all non-H atoms. The present study reports a structure redetermination of junitoite using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data from a natural sample, demonstrating that the space group of this mineral is actually  Aea 2, which can be attained simply by shifting the origin. Topologically, the structure models in the space groups  Aea 2 and  Ama 2 are analogous, consisting of chains of corner-sharing ZnO 4  tetra­hedra parallel to the  b  axis, cross-linked by Si 2 O 7  tetra­hedral dimers (the site symmetry of the bridging O atom is ..2) along  a  and  c , forming a three-dimensional framework. The Ca 2+  cations (site symmetry ..2) are situated in cavities of the framework and are bonded to five O atoms and one H 2 O mol­ecule (site symmetry ..2) in a distorted octa­hedral coordination environment. However, some bond lengths, especially for the SiO 4  tetra­hedron, are noticeably different between the two structure models. Hydrogen bonding in junitoite is found between the water mol­ecule and a framework O atom.
