Abstract
Abstract The new mineral bakakinite, ideally Ca2V2O7, was found in the high-temperature (not lower than 500°C) exhalations of the Arsenatnaya fumarole at the Second scoria cone of the Northern Breakthrough of the Great Tolbachik Fissure Eruption, Tolbachik volcano, Kamchatka, Russia. It is associated with anhydrite, svabite, pliniusite, schäferite, berzeliite, diopside, hematite, powellite, baryte, fluorapatite, calciojohillerite, ludwigite, magnesioferrite, anorthite, titanite and esseneite. Bakakinite forms flattened crystals up to 30 × 5 μm, typically distorted. The mineral is transparent, colourless or pale yellow, with strong vitreous lustre. Electron microprobe analysis gave (wt.%): CaO 37.04, SrO 0.26, SiO2 0.16, P2O5 1.48, V2O5 49.47, As2O5 10.85, SO3 0.35, total 99.61. The empirical formula calculated on the basis of 7 O apfu is (Ca1.99Sr0.01)Σ2.00(V1.64As0.28P0.06Si0.01S0.01)Σ2.00O7. The Dcalc is 3.463 g cm–3. Bakakinite is triclinic, P$\bar{1}$, unit-cell parameters are: a = 6.64(2), b = 6.92(2), c = 7.01(2) Å, α = 86.59(7), β = 63.77(7), γ = 83.47(6)°, V = 287.0(5) Å3 and Z = 2. The strongest reflections of the powder X-ray diffraction pattern [d,Å(I)(hkl)] are: 4.647(27)(111, 0$\bar{1}$1), 3.138(76)(002), 3.103(100)(120, 121), 3.027(20)(021), 2.960(81)(200), 2.158(19)(031, 302), 1.791(16)(320), 1.682(16)(114) and 1.584(17)(1$\bar{3}$3, 403). Bakakinite is a natural analogue of synthetic Ca2V2O7. The mineral is named in honour of the outstanding Russian crystallographer and crystal chemist Vladimir Vasilievich Bakakin (born 1933).
期刊介绍:
Mineralogical Magazine is an international journal of mineral sciences which covers the fields of mineralogy, crystallography, geochemistry, petrology, environmental geology and economic geology. The journal has been published continuously since the founding of the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland in 1876 and is a leading journal in its field.
