Examples of pollucite
pollucite
Notable amounts of pollucite are also mined in the Karibib Desert, Namibia.
From the en.wikipedia.org
It occurs naturally in the minerals leucite, pollucite, carnallite, zinnwaldite, and lepidolite.

It occurs naturally in the minerals leucite, pollucite, carnallite, and zinnwaldite, which contain up to 1% of its oxide.

The Bikita pegmatite deposit in Zimbabwe is mined for its petalite but it also contains a significant amount of pollucite.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The mining of pollucite ore is a selective process and is conducted on a small scale in comparison with most metal mining operations.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The roasting of pollucite with calcium carbonate and calcium chloride yields insoluble calcium silicates and soluble caesium chloride.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The deposits there are estimated to contain 350,000 metric tons of pollucite ore, which represents more than two-thirds of the world's reserve base.

Caesium is mined mostly from pollucite, while the radioisotopes, especially caesium-137, a fission product, are extracted from waste produced by nuclear reactors.

In 1930, Fred Allison of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute claimed to have discovered element 87 when analyzing pollucite and lepidolite using his magneto-optical machine.
From the en.wikipedia.org
- A rare mineral that is an important source of cesium
- Pollucite is a zeolite mineral with the formula (Cs,Na)2Al2Si4O12u00B72H2O with iron, calcium, rubidium and potassium as common substituting elements. It is important as a significant ore of caesium and sometimes rubidium. It forms a solid solution series with analcime. It crystallizes in the isometric - hexoctahedral crystal system as colorless, white, gray, or rarely pink and blue masses...
- A colorless transparent mineral of the zeolite family consisting of hydrous cesium aluminum silicate and occurring massive or crystallizing in cubes
