Aradite

Aradite is a very rare mineral with formula BaCa₆[(SiO₄)(VO₄)](VO₄)₂F.^[2][3] Aradite and its phosphorus-analogue, zadovite,^[4] were found in paralavas (rocks formed due to pyrometamorphism) of the Hatrurim Formation.^[2] Both aradite and zadovite have structures similar to that of nabimusaite.
