ICSD ! Even the demo version on http://www.ill.fr/dif/icsd should
contain a few of these hydrated Mg,Fe carbonates. Just type the first
few letters of the mineral name, or try "Mg Fe C O" as elements.

BTW spelling is Sjoegrenite not Sjogrenite in ICSD and there are
others such as Coalingite.

Another source referenced on the above WWW page is Bob Downs'
American Mineralogical Society test database on:
