Abstract

This New Mineral Names has entries for 18 new minerals, including aradite, chlorkyuygenite, chubarovite, cryobostryxite, ferriakasakaite-(La), ferriandrosite-(La), ferro-pedrizite, flamite, flinteite, fluorchegemite, fluorkyuygenite, fluormayenite, fluor-tsilaisite, gatedalite, kononovite, mendigite, nabimusaite, and zadovite. # Aradite* and Zadovite* {#article-title-2} E.V. Galuskin, F. Gfeller, I.O. Galuskina, A. Pakhomova, T. Armbruster, Y. Vapnik, R. Wlodyka, P. Dzierzanowski, and M. Murashko (2015) New minerals with a modular structure derived from hatrurite from the pyrometamorphic Hatrurim Complex. Part II. Zadovite, BaCa6[(SiO4)(PO4)](PO4)2F and aradite, BaCa6[(SiO4)(VO4)](VO4)2F, from paralavas of the Hatrurim Basin, Negev Desert, Israel. Mineralogical Magazine, 79, 1073–1087. Two new minerals aradite (IMA 2013-047), ideally BaCa6[(SiO4) (VO4)](VO4)2F and zadovite (IMA 2013-031), ideally BaCa6[(SiO4)(PO4)] (PO4)2F, the members of the solid solution BaCa6[(SiO4),(PO4),(VO4)]4F, were discovered in a few centimeter thick paralava veins in gehlenite-rich pyrometamorphic rocks of the Hatrurim Complex, Gurim Anticline, Hatrurim Basin (31°12′N 35°14′E), located near the town of Arad in the Negev Desert, Israel. Aradite and zadovite are associated with rock-forming gehlenite, pseudowollastonite, wollastonite, andradite–schorlomite garnet-series, rankinite, magnesioferrite, kalsilite and fluorapatite; with minor P-rich ellestadite, larnite, cuspidine, and hematite. Accessory minerals are dorrite-khesinite, barioferrite, walstromite, barite, gurimite, fresnoite, delafossite, cuprite, vorlanite, perovskite, and hexacelsian. Zadovite and aradite are colorless, transparent with a white streak, have vitreous luster and uneven fracture. Both are uniaxial …
