OK, thanks Bob. Actually as Ryan Winburn pointed out, "stratlingite" is
indeed in the ICSD database, but spelled "straetlingite" and with a slightly
different stoichiometry.
I am impressed with the MSA database, and hope that European mineralogists
will be encouraged to submit entries directly to MSA and ICSD.
