Calcioveatchite
A valid IMA mineral species
This page is currently not sponsored. Click here to sponsor this page.
Formula:
SrCaB11O16(OH)5 · 5H2O
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
Named for its relationship with veatchite, with calcium substituting for half of the strontium. The veatchite root name is for John Allen Veatch (5 March 1808, Knox County, Kentucky, USA - 24 April 1870, Portland, Texas, USA), surgeon, surveyor, and scientist. He was the first person to detect boron in the mineral waters of California in 1856.
The SrCa-ordered analogue of veatchite. Chemically similar to kurgantaite and strontioginorite. Also compare 'strontiohilgardite'.
