Description

A small hard, glassy yellow crystalline mass of the new phosphate fluorcarmoite-(BaNa), IMA 2015-062, in altered quartzite.

"Carmoite" is a new rootname for the Mg-dominant series of the arrojadite group, the other two being arrojadite proper (Fe++) and dickinsonite (Mn++), with due prefix for F content and suffix for the alakali metals. The resemblance with arrojadite-(BaNa) is no chance!

Only the holotype has been found so far and in almost four years since the orignal find no second specimen has been recovered, so fluorcarmoite-(BaNa) must be regarded as an extremely rare species. We had few little fragments in exclusive from the discoverer.
