About Arrojadite GroupHide

Formula:
A2E2CaNa2+xM13R(PO3OH)1-x(PO4)11W2
A group of basic phosphate minerals with the general formula indicated above, where:

A denotes a large divalent cation (Ba, Sr, Pb) plus a vacancy, or two monovalent cations (K, Na),
E denotes a small divalent cation (Fe, Mn, Mg) plus a vacancy, or two Na cations,
M is a small divalent cation (Fe, Mn, Mg), whose identity defines the root-name: Fe, arrojadite, or Mn, dickinsonite,
R is a small trivalent cation (Al, Fe) and
W is a hydroxide or fluoride ion.

An arrojadite from Yukon contains traces of N (~700 ppm of N) in the form of NH4+ ions.

Click on any node to view relationships. Formula-derived relationship network for the group members above. Use Find related species to add formula-neighbour species outside the current group view. Solid links show inferred chemical differences; dashed violet links show same-formula crystallographic differences. Hydration states are not treated as relationship changes. These relationships do not imply any real-world substitution reactions between these species.
