The SUPPORTING- (Y) is a mineral species of the group of silicates and the subgroup of the born, Formula Y 4 Al (sio 4 ) 2 (OH) 2 F 5 , présentant des traces de Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu et H2O.

History of the description and names [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

Inventor and etymology [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

Kuliokite- (Y) was described in 1986 by Voloshin and Pakhomovskii [ 3 ] ; His name was given to him according to his typical locality: the Kuliok river in the Kola peninsula in Russia. The “(y)” comes from the presence of yttrium in its composition.

Topotype [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

  • The topotype is at the Kuliok river, Kola peninsula, Oblast of Mourmansk, in Russia [ 4 ] , [ 5 ] .
  • The reference samples are deposited at the Museum of Geology of St Petersburg, as well as at the Mineralogical Museum A. E. Fersman in Moscow, in Russia.

Determination criteria [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

Kuliokite- (y) is in the form of flattened crystals exceeding 0.5 mm . It has a bad cleavage on {010}.

Its crystals are transparent, of adamantine and birefringent radiance; Its color varies between colorless, rose-class and white. Its line is white.

It is radioactive, with a mass activity of 137 Bq/g .

Crystallography [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

Kuliokite- (y) crystallizes in the triclinical crystalline system, of space group P 1 (Z = 1 Form unit per conventional mesh) [ 6 ] .
