Lishiite
Lishiite is a rare carbonate mineral with the chemical formula (Ca2◻)Sr3(CO3)5. It crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal system and belongs to the Strunz classification 5.AC.30. This mineral is characterized by its hexagonal crystal habit and typically exhibits a white to colorless appearance. Lishiite has a vitreous luster and is relatively soft, with a hardness that is not explicitly documented. Its density is also not specified, but it is known to be a tectosilicate-like mineral. As a carbonate, it is part of a broader group of minerals that include calcite and dolomite, though its composition is distinct due to the presence of strontium and calcium in a unique structural arrangement.
