Tundrite-(Nd) (original) (raw)
A valid IMA mineral species
Formula:
Na2(Nd,Ce)2Ti(SiO4)(CO3)2O2
Colour:
Brownish to greenish yellow
Name:
Named for its relationship to tundrite-(Ce), with Nd being the dominant rare earth element.
Note that the mineral was accepted automatically, without detailed investigation and description of type material. Only a single Nd-dominant analysis was published. In other words, tundrite-(Nd) is a very doubtful mineral, which nobody saw and nobody have. Consequently nobody was able to repeat results of its chemical analysis.
