Sergeevite is a rare hydrous calcium magnesium carbonate mineral with the chemical formula Ca2Mg11(CO3)9(HCO3)4(OH)4·6H2O. It belongs to the Strunz classification 5.DB.25, indicating its position among the carbonate minerals. This mineral crystallizes in an unknown crystal system, though its physical properties suggest a complex structure.
