Bananatisite

A synonym of Batisite
This page is currently not sponsored. Click here to sponsor this page.
Formula:
BaNaNaTi2(Si4O12)O2
Synonym:
A synonym of Batisite
A suggested alternative name that takes into account the full chemical composition of batisite.

BaNaNaTi2(Si4O12)O2

The approved name is given for Barium, Titanium and Silica - but misses out the double Sodium (Na) in the formula.

It is unlikely that this name change will be formally proposed to the IMA, but we all live in hope.
