regoslite

Regosrite is a rare mineral species discovered in 2016 in the Myanmar pegmatite. The mineral belongs to the silicate class and has the chemical formula (Na2, Ca)AlB2Si6O18. Regosrite is characterized by its pink to pale yellow color and its white streak. It has a vitreous luster and a crystal habit that is often tabular or layered.

The name of the mineral comes from the scientists who discovered it, B. Charlier, J.L. Rego, and P. Berlepsch. Regosrite was initially thought to be a member of the tourmaline group but was later found to have distinct differences in its chemical composition and crystal structure.

Regosrite is usually found in chevkinite-rich pegmatites, which are associated with other rare mineral species. Its mode of formation is still not well understood, but it is believed to have formed through the crystallization of a peraluminous melt under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions.

Regosrite is a relatively rare mineral and has only been reported from a few localities in Myanmar. Its rarity and unusual chemical composition make it an important mineral for the scientific community. Studies of regosrite provide insights into the complex geological processes that occur in pegmatites and can help improve our understanding of the conditions under which certain mineral species form.
