About Nabimusaite-Dargaite SeriesHide

Series Formula:

KCa₁₂(SiO₄)₄(SO₄)₂O₂F to BaCa₁₂(SiO₄)₄(SO₄)₂O₃

A series between Nabimusaite and Dargaite

3:1 type AB12(TO4)4(TO4)2W3 compounds.
A = Ba, K, Sr, etc.
B = Ca, Na, etc.
T = Si, P, V⁵⁺, S⁶⁺, Al, etc.
W = O^2-, F

The modular-layered structure, broken antiperovskite type, is derived from hatrurite. It characterizes in the presence of triple {[W₃B₁₂](TO₄)₄} layers of arctite-nabimusaite type.
