Aquasidite (original) (raw)

Valid as an unnamed mineral

Crystal System:

Orthorhombic

A substance of anthropogenic origin (burning coal mine dumps). Current IMA regulations do not allow such substances to be validated as mineral species. The original proposal was therefore rejected, but the mineral and name were published nonetheless.

The natural form known from inclusions in Siberian halite has the Pbcn space group.

(TL) - Type Locality for a valid mineral species. (FRL) - First Recorded Locality for everything else (eg varieties). Struck out - Mineral was erroneously reported from this locality. Faded * - Never found at this locality but inferred to have existed at some point in the past (e.g. from pseudomorphs).
