Description

The crystal structure of surkhobite, a new mineral from Tajikistan, was determined by methods of X-ray diffraction analysis (a = 10.723 A, b = 13.826 A, c = 20.791 A, β = 95 deg., sp. gr. C2, R = 0.047). The structure is a derivative of the bafertisite structure but differs from it and other representatives of the titanosilicate micas: three-layered slabs are connected to form isolated channels orderly filled with Ca, Na, Ba, and K atoms
