Shuvalovite (original) (raw)
A valid IMA mineral species
Specific Gravity:
2.64 (Calculated)
Crystal System:
Orthorhombic
Name:
In honour of the Russian nobleman and statesman Ivan Ivanovich Shuvalov (1727–1797), who was an enthusiastic patron of the sciences, arts and literature, and one of the founders of the Moscow University in 1755.
New structure type.
Chemically and anion-stoichiometrically similar to but structurally different from krasheninnikovite. May also be compared to cesanite (similar chemistry and anion stoichiometry) and other apatite group species (stoichiometry).
Crystal structure details (Pekov et al, 2016):
- isolated 2 nonequivalent SO4 tetrahedra
- disordered coordination of the S(2) site results in two possible orientations of the corresponding tetrahedron
- Ca(1)O7F polyhedra
- Ca(2)O5F and Ca(2)O6F polyhedra
- [9]K(1) and [9]K(2)
- most of Na resides in the Ca(2) site
