sivuraiteille

Sivuraiteille is a rare mineral species discovered in 2009. It is a tellurite mineral, meaning it contains the tellurium element. The mineral was first found in the Sivur mine in Finland, which is the origin of its name. Sivuraiteille is typically found in association with other tellurium minerals such as tellurite and tellurium dioxide.

The mineral has a unique crystal structure and is characterized by its dark brown to black color. It is often found in small, prismatic crystals or as granular masses. Sivuraiteille is not known to have any significant economic value, but it is of interest to mineral collectors and researchers due to its rarity and unique composition.

The chemical formula of sivuraiteille is Te4+6O11. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system and has a hardness of approximately 2.5 on the Mohs scale. The mineral is typically found in hydrothermal veins and is associated with other tellurium minerals, as well as quartz and other silicate minerals.

Sivuraiteille is a relatively new mineral species, and its properties and occurrences are still being studied. As more research is conducted, it is possible that additional information will be discovered about this fascinating mineral.
