Abstract

The new mineral gazeevite, BaCa₆(SiO₄)₂(SO₄)₂O (R3m, a = 7.1540(1), c = 25.1242(5) Å, V = 1113.58(3) Å³, Z = 3), was found in an altered xenolith in rhyodacites of the Shadil-Khokh volcano, Southern Ossetia and at three localities in larnite pyrometamorphic rocks of the Hatrurim Complex; Nahal Darga and Jabel Harmun, Judean Mountains, Palestinian Autonomy, and Har Parsa, Negev Desert, Israel. Larnite, fluorellestadite-fluorapatite, srebrodolskite-brownmillerite andmayenite-supergroup minerals are the main minerals commonly associated with gazeevite. Gazeevite is isostructural with zadovite and aradite; the 1:1 type AB₆(TO₄)₂(TO₄)₂W, occurs together with the structurally related minerals of the nabimusaite series, 3:1 type AB₁₂(TO₄)₄(TO₄)₂W₃, where A = Ba, K, Sr...; B=Ca, Na...; T = Si, P, V⁵⁺, S⁶⁺, Al...; W=O^2-, F^-. Single antiperovskite layers {[WB₆](TO₄)₂} in the structure type of gazeevite-zadovite and triple {[W₃B₁₂] (TO₄)₄} layers in arctite-nabimusaite are intercalated with single A(TO₄) layers. These minerals with an interrupted antiperovskite structure are characterized by a modular layered structure derived from hatrurite, Ca₃(SiO₄)O. Gazeevite is colourless, transparent, with a white streak and vitreous lustre. Gazeevite is brittle, shows pronounced parting and imperfect cleavage on {001}; it is uniaxial (-), ω = 1.640(3), ϵ = 1.636(2) (λ = 589 nm) and nonpleochroic; Mohs' hardness is ~4.5, VHN₅₀ = 417 kg mm^-2. The calculated density is = 3.39 g cm^-3. The main lines of the calculated powder X-ray diffraction pattern are as follows (d(Å)/I/hkl): 3.58/100/110, 3.07/91/021, 2.76/47/116, 1.789/73/220, 3.29/60/113, 2.78/36/024, 2.12/25/125, 2.21/21/208. Raman spectra of gazeevite are compared with spectra of other minerals. The formation of gazeevite and minerals of the nabimusaite-dargaite series is connected with high-temperature alteration of an early assemblage of clinker minerals affected by later fluids generated by volcanic activity or combustion processes.
