| Abstract/Notes | Bimbowrieite, NaMgFe3+ 5 (PO4)4(OH)6⋅2H2O, is a new mineral found in a mineralogically zoned rare-element bearing pegmatite at the White Rock No.2 quarry, Bimbowrie Conservation Park, South Australia, Australia. Crystals are dark olive green to greenish brown and are bladed with dimensions of up to 150 μm. Crystals occur as aggregates up to 0.4 mm across associated with ushkovite, bermanite, leucophosphite and sellaite. Bimbowrieite is pleochroic, biaxial (+), with α = 1.785(5), β = 1.795(5), γ = 1.805(5) and 2V(meas.) = 89.4(5)°. The average of 28 chemical analyses gave the empirical formula: (Na0.81Ca0.19)Σ1.00(Mg0.75Mn2+ 0.19Fe2+ 0.05)Σ0.99(Fe3+ 4.99Al0.01)Σ5.00 (PO4)3.97(OH)5.88⋅2.05 H2O based on 24 oxygen atoms. Bimbowrieite is monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 25.944(5), b = 5.1426(10), c = 13.870(3 Å, β = 111.60(3)°, V = 1720.4(7) Å3 and Z = 4. The crystal structure was refined to R1 = 1.97% for 1060 observed reflections with F0 > 4σ(F0). Bimbowrieite is isostructural with dufrénite. The structure is based on a trimer of face-sharing octahedra in which an M2 octahedra shares two trans faces with two M4 octahedra. Trimers link in the c-direction by sharing corners with two M3 octahedra and with T1 and T2 tetrahedra. Linkage in the a-direction is via corner-sharing M1 octahedra and linkage in the b-direction is via corner-sharing T1 and T2 tetrahedra. | ||
