Nosean
Nosean is a rare hydrous sodium aluminum silicate sulfate mineral with the chemical formula Na8(Si6Al6)O24(SO4)·H2O. It belongs to the cubic crystal system and is classified as a tectosilicate in the Strunz system (9.FB.10) and as a cyclosilicate in the Dana system (76.2.3.2). Nosean typically exhibits a vitreous luster, with a color ranging from colorless to white. It has a hardness of approximately 5.5 to 6 on the Mohs scale and a relatively low density. This mineral is notable for its complex structure and is considered a member of the feldspathoid group due to its sodium content and silicate framework.
