Missing minerals: halagurite, jusite, urphoite

The following minerals are missing from the data base:

1. Halagurite - a pyroxene end member
Ref.
Gehör, S., Laajoki, K. & Devaraju, T. (1994): Halagurite - the missing member of the Mn-Mg-Fe pyroxene quadrilateral. IMA 16th General Meeting, Pisa, Italy, Abstracts, p. 140.

2. Jusite - a variety of pectolite?
Ref.
Gramling-Mende, I. & Leopold, G. (1943): "Jusit", ein vermutlich neues Mineral! Neues Jahrbuch für Mineralogie, Geologie und Paläontologie, Abt. A, 49, 178-184.

3. Urphoite - a hydrous uranium phosphate
Ref.
Belova, L. N., Gorshkov, A. I., Doinikova, O. A. & Sivtsov, A. V. (1998): Phosphates of U(IV): a new mineral group. Transactions (Doklady) of the Russian Academy of Sciences/Earth Science Section, 358, 23-25.

Checked on these. I'll add the rest of the data when I can.

Halagurite is N status, NS10 coding 9.DA.10, comp (Fe,Mn,Mg)₂Si₂O₆, monoclinic.

Jusite is Q status, probably = tobermorite, comp. Na₂Ca₁₅Al₄Si₁₆O₅₄.17H₂O, NS10 coding 9.DG.10

Urphoite is N status, NS10 coding 8.DN.15, comp. U⁴⁺₆(PO₄)₇(OH)₃.4H₂O, monoclinic. Also in unnamed mineral list as UM1996-//-PO:HU.

They are still missing...

Urphoite was already added in the meantime.
Halagurite and jusite now added.
