Khomyakovite
Khomyakovite is a rare mineral with the chemical formula Na12Sr3Ca6Fe3Zr3W[Si25O73](O,OH,H2O)3(OH,Cl)2. It crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system and belongs to the Strunz classification 9.CO.10. This mineral exhibits a white streak and typically has a vitreous luster. Its physical properties include moderate hardness and variable density due to its complex composition. Khomyakovite is classified as a nesosilicate, a group of silicate minerals in which the silicate tetrahedra are isolated from one another. Its unique composition and crystal structure make it a subject of interest in mineralogical studies.
