Hydroxycalciomicrolite
Hydroxycalciomicrolite is a rare mineral with the chemical formula calcium tantalum oxide hydroxide, represented as Ca1.5Ta2O6(OH). It crystallizes in the cubic crystal system and belongs to the space group P4₃32. This mineral is classified as a nesosilicate, though its structure is dominated by tantalum and calcium. It exhibits a hardness typical of minerals with such compositions, though specific values are not widely documented. Its luster is generally vitreous, and it is typically colorless or pale in appearance. With a relatively high density due to the presence of tantalum, hydroxycalciomicrolite is of interest in mineralogical studies for its unique chemical and structural properties.
