Samraite (original) (raw)

A valid IMA mineral species

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Known synthetic analogue. A chemical (but not truly analogous) counterpart of nabateaite (a Fe-dominant counterpart). Chemically somewhat similar to lisanite and the tetraphosphate species phosphocyclite-(Ni).

The most simple Ni phosphate among minerals (alongside with phosphocyclite-(Ni)).
