..., pascoite and rossite. The mineral occurs as transparent colourless needles, bundles of tan to brown needles and star bursts of nearly black broad blades composed of tightly intergrown needles. Crystals are elongate and striated parallel to [100], exhibiting the prismatic forms {001} and {011} and having...

... with cobaltomenite, gypsum, metarossite, orschallite and rossite. The new mineral is light violet and transparent with a white streak and vitreous lustre. The Mohs hardness is 2½. Nestolaite is brittle, has uneven fracture and perfect cleavage on {100}. The measured and calculated densities are D meas. = 3.18(2) g...

... occurs as blades on a corvusite-montroseite-bearing sandstone block intimately associated with calcite, gypsum, huemulite, pascoite, rossite, and sherwoodite. Nashite is bluish-green, with a light bluish-green streak. The mineral is transparent, with a subadamantine luster. Nashite does not fluoresce...

This paper contains...

...J. Rossiter; D. W. Strangway; A. P. Annan; R. Watts; J. D. Redman Abstract Recent theoretical work on the radio interferometry technique for dielectric layers less than one free space wavelength thick has indicated that there is a thickness for which no interference is observed. This thickness...
