Calamaite
Calamaite is a rare hydrated sodium titanium sulfate mineral with the chemical formula Na2TiO(SO4)2*2H2O. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system and belongs to the sulfate mineral class. This mineral is characterized by its vitreous luster and typically appears colorless or pale in color. With a relatively low hardness and moderate density, calamaite is notable for its complex chemical composition, which includes water molecules within its structure. It is classified as a sulfatetitanate, reflecting its sulfate and titanium content, and is of interest to mineralogists due to its unique chemical and structural properties.
