Improving Mindat.orgBalangeroite cell parameters typo
1st Feb 2015 19:30 UTCFrank Craig
I did a quick search on mindat yesterday to confirm the cell parameters I was using for balangeroite and was taken aback when I saw this (did not match what I had):
a=c=19.4; b=9.65
www.mindat.org
Originally, I used cell parameters from webmineral and later found the article below. I am hoping this is just a typo (or does somebody know something different?) and could be fixed by someone.
a=b=19.40; c=9.65
Electron-diffraction and electron-microscopy study of balangeroite and gageite: Crystal structures, polytypism, and fiber texture
American Mineralogist, Volume 72, pages 382-391, 1987
a=b=19.40; c=9.65

Thanks
