Pittongite is hexagonal, space group P m2, with a 7.286(1), c 50.49(1) Å, V 2321.2 Å3, refined from synchrotron X-ray powder-diffraction data. The density of the mineral could not be measured, but Dcalc is 5.715 g/cm3. Pittongite has a cream streak, estimated Mohs hardness of 2–3, and is non-fluorescent.

In phyllotungstite, the (111)py blocks have the same thickness, 6 Å, whereas pittongite contains pyrochlore blocks of two different thicknesses, 6 and 12 Å. The structures can alternatively be described in terms of chemical twinning of the pyrochlore structure on (111)py oxygen planes.

Pittongite occurs as creamy-yellow aggregates replacing ferberite in massive quartz. The crystals form thin plates in aggregates up to 2 mm in width. The mineral is formed by direct alteration of ferberite in the presence of acidic, oxidizing solutions containing sodium.
