Yagiite
Yagiite is a rare mineral with the chemical formula sodium magnesium aluminum silicate, represented as NaMg2(AlMg2Si12)O30. It crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal system and belongs to the space group P6/mcc. Classified as a tectosilicate in the Strunz system (9.CM.05) and in the Dana classification (63.2.1a.10), yagiite is characterized by its distinct physical properties. It typically exhibits a vitreous luster, a hardness that is not explicitly documented, and a density that remains unspecified. The mineral is known for its color and optical properties, though specific details are not provided. Its classification as a tectosilicate suggests a framework silicate structure.
