Nyerereite has the idealized composition (Nao.s2Ko.i8)2Ca(C03)2 with significant minor substitution of S04", PO^ , F for CO3, optical properties α = 1.5112, β = 1.5333, γ = 1.5345, 2 F a = 29°, and density 2.541 g cm~3. The average unit cell has space group Cmc2i, dimensions a — 5.044, b = 8.809, c = 12.743 Ä and contains four formula units. Non-Bragg reflexions have h = η + mö where η and m are integers and δ = 0.383 and indicate a structural modulation. The natural mineral is an inversion product from a high-temperature hexagonal polymorph, high nyerereite with a = 5.05, c = 12.85 Ä and space group P ^ m c . The average structure of the natural mineral (low nyerereite) is discussed and the structure of high nyerereite is inferred. The high-nyerereite structure is the aristotype for all phases except buetschliite in the system Na2Ca(COs)2—K2Ca(CC>3)2. Mineralogical nomenclature in this system is discussed. 74 D U N C A N M C K I E a n d E . J . F R A N K I S
