Abstract

CaBa(CO_3)_2 has been identified as coatings of pyramidal crystals on veins of mixed carbonates in specimens of barium and calcium carbonates from the Minerva mine at Cave in Rock, Illinois. This represents the first recorded American occurrence of this mineral. It is biaxial negative, Nα = 1.526, Nβ = 1.671, Nγ = 1.672. Infrared spectra, x-ray powder diffraction data, and emission spectrographic data are reported.
