Formula:

KCa12(SiO4)4(SO4)2O2F

Specific Gravity:

3.119 (Calculated)

Name:

For the Nabi Musa dome.

Known synthetic nesosilicate.

The K-F-analogue of dargaite.

The modular-layered structure, broken antiperovskite type, is derived from that of hatrurite. It characterizes in the presence of triple {[_W_3_B_12](_T_O4)4} layers of arctite-nabimusaite type.
