About Pascoite Family
A collection of minerals featuring the V10O28 "decavanadate" cluster in a spacious network of hydrogen bonds with various cations. Some minerals exhibit variations in the oxidation state of, or substitutions for, vanadium (e.g., trebiskyite). This is not a traditional mineral "group" because the members are not truly isostrucural, which is why Kampf et al. (2021) defined them as a "pascoite family". However, their structures all exhibit the same general architecture.
