    Yagiite (Na K) MG (Al MG) (Si Al) O

    Uploaded by

    Yagiite is a sodium-magnesium aluminosilicate mineral that was discovered in an iron meteorite. It crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal system and is uniaxial positive with a faint blue pleochroism. Chemical analysis shows its main components are SiO2, Al2O3, MgO, Na2O, and K2O. It occurs as an interstitial mineral within silicate inclusions in the Colomera iron meteorite from Spain, where it formed in a magnesium-rich environment along with other silicate minerals.
