Studenitsite

NaCa2[B9O14(OH)4] * 2H2O

Studenitsite is a rare borate mineral with the chemical formula sodium calcium tetraborate tetrahydroxide dihydrate. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system and is classified under the Strunz classification as 6.GB.05. The mineral exhibits a white streak and typically displays a vitreous luster. It is relatively soft, with a hardness that is not explicitly documented, and has a moderate density. Studenitsite is notable for its complex structure and is part of the borate mineral group, which is characterized by the presence of boron-oxygen anions. Its physical properties and chemical composition make it a subject of interest in mineralogical studies.
