About High-Hydrated Si-Deficient VesuvianiteHide

Formula:
Ca19(Al9Mg3Fe0.8-1Mn0-0.2)13B<2.44(Si2O7)4(SiO4)10-x(OH)4x( O,OH,F,Cl)10 (x=0.67 - 2.89)
Colour:
Yellowish
Originally reported from the Vilyui River Basin (Vilui River Basin; Wilui River Basin), Saha Republic (Sakha Republic; Yakutia), Eastern-Siberian Region, Russia.

Compare also cebollite.

Somewhat misnamed: the mineral shows some substitution of Si by hydrogen, similar to katoite, hydrogrossular and other hydrogarnets.
