About Calciogadolinite-(Y)
Formula:
(YCa)2Fe3+Be2[SiO4]2O2
Name:
Named by T. Nakai in 1938 according to composition and similarity with gadolinite, but considered questionable. Discredited in 2006 (considered Ca-bearing gadolinite under current site-dominance rules).
A variety of Gadolinite-(Y)
A Ca-dominant gadolinite. Although Ca dominates over any individual REE, the current site dominance rules do not allow for species status because trivalent elements (mostly REE) dominate over total divalent elements (mostly Ca) on the site.
