Part of the book series: Springer Mineralogy ((MINERAL))

  • 140 Accesses

Abstract

Obtaining genetic information through available crystallochemical data here discussed. Our results of studying the reference samples of Smirnovskite and Brockite (samples Fersman Mineralogical Museum, Moscow) have been analyzed together with the literature data on rhabdophane-like minerals. Existing systematization in this mineral group have been clarified. Questions of isomorphism and systematics of phosphates in Rhabdophane mineral group are considered on example of Ningyoite. Schema-tetrahedron was proposed for cation isomorphism discussing. Some questions of Mineralogy of tetravalent uranium U4+ are discussed. Preconditions for discovery of new uranium minerals are noted.
