Abstract

Results of mineralogical ATEM-studies of uranous-phosphate mineralization are forming this chapter. For the first time all currently available information on U4+-phosphates has been systematized and generalized. Here optical, chemical and structural minerals characteristics were summarized in a single table. These phases’ mineralogical characteristics (morphological and crystallochemical) and their occurrences described. The first section summarized data on little known previously mineral—Ningyoite. An overview of all now known deposits with ningyoite ores is given. In the second section other uranous-phosphates which belong to Lermontovite group—Lermontovite, Vyacheslavite and Urphoite—characterized on result of crystallochemical ATEM-study. Given here data are description of their single or only finds. The mineral Ningyoite in essence discoveries new mineral community—Family of uranous phosphates that is united by common mineral formation conditions: into reduction stage of hypergenic redox processes.
