Although stolzite was discovered in Yaogangxian, Hunan Province, China, in 1948, no formal report about this mineral has been published. Recently its crystal structure has been refined by means of the Rietveld method. The cell dimensions of the mineral are: a=b=0.544503(3) nm, c=1.20495(1)nm and α=β=γ=90°. The X, Y and Z coordinates of the atom O refined by the authors are 0.2637, 0.1137 and 0.0706, respectively. The length of the W‐O bond is 0.17826 nm and the angle of the O‐W‐O bound are 123° and 103° , respectively.
