Named in 1955 by Clifford Frondel in honor of Forest A. Gonyer [March 24, 1899 - December 1971 Merry Point, Virginia, USA] chemist in the Mineralogy department, Harvard University. Gonyer named many new mineral species or chemically analyzed them without co-authorship including dakeite, roweite, and salesite.
Type Locality:
ⓘLångban Mine, Långban Ore District, Filipstad, Värmland County, Sweden
Compare alsopennantite, a chemically similar, but Al-bearing, Mn-member of the chlorite group.
