Hizenite-(Y) (original) (raw)
A valid IMA mineral species
Formula:
Ca2Y6(CO3)11 · 14H2O
Specific Gravity:
2.98 (Calculated)
Crystal System:
Orthorhombic
Name:
The name derives from “Hizen”, the old name of the mineral type locality between 7th and 16th century.
Small size of crystals precludes determination of most X-ray and physical data for the mineral.
