Шаблон:Infobox mineral Béhierite is a very rare mineral,[1] a natural tantalum borate of the formula Шаблон:Chem2.[2][3] Béhierite is also one of the most simple tantalum minerals. It contains simple tetrahedral borate anions, instead of more common among minerals, planar BO3 groups. It forms a solid solution with its niobium-analogue, schiavinatoite. Both have zircon-type structure (tetragonal, space group I41/amd) and are found in pegmatites.[3] Béhierite and holtite are minerals with essential tantalum and boron.[4]

Béhierite was named for Jean Béhier (1903–1965), who discovered the mineral in 1959, as a French mineralogist, active in the Service Géologique, on the island of Madagascar.[3]

Occurrence and association

Béhierite occurs in granitic pegmatites in Manjaka and Antsongombato, Madagascar. Associated minerals are albite, manganese-bearing apatite-group mineral, lepidolite, elbaite or elbaite–liddicoatite, feldspar, pollucite, quartz, rhodizite, and schiavinatoite.[1]

Crystal structure

Crystal structure of synthetic TaBO4 was refined by Range et al. (1996).[5] As béhierite is analogous to schiavinatoite, their crystal structures are expected to be similar.[6]
