Abstract Zigrasite, ideally MgZr(PO 4 ) 2 (H 2 O) 4 , is a new secondary phosphate mineral from the giant 1972 gem tourmaline-bearing pocket at the Dunton Quarry, Newry, Oxford County, Maine, USA. It occurs as subhedral blocky grains sometimes exceeding 1 mm in maximum dimension and perched on tourmaline. These grains are complex aggregates ofthree distinct phases, zigrasite and two unnamed phases: the Ca analogue of zigrasite, CaZr(PO 4 ) 2 (H 2 O) 4 , and Zr(PO 3 OH) 2 (H 2 O) 4 . Zigrasite is associated with tourmaline, microcline, quartz, albite, beryl, amblygonite-montebrasite, childreniteeosphorite and apatite, and crystallized as one of the latest minerals during pocket formation. It is offwhite to pale yellow or light tan, translucent with a white streak and a vitreous lustre, and shows light blue to pale yellow cathodoluminescence. Mohs hardness is 3 and the measured and calculated densities are 2.76(4) and 2.66 g/cm 3 . The mineral has imperfect cleavage in two directions, parallel to (010) and (001), shows no parting, is brittle and has a hackly fracture. In transmitted light, it is colourless and non-pleochroic, biaxial negative with α 1.597(1), β 1.622 (1), γ 1.635 (1), with 2V (meas) = 65.5(4)º and 2V (calc.) = 71º. Zigrasite is triclinic, P , a 5.3049(2) Å, b 9.3372(4) Å, c 9.6282(5) Å, α 97.348(1)º, β 91.534(1)º, γ 90.512(4)º, V 472.79(5) Å3, Z = 2. The seven strongest lines in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern are as follows: d (Ê), I , ( hkl ): 9.550, 100, (001); 4.108, 70, ; 4.008, 50, (111); 4.589, 40, (110); 3.177, 40, (112); 3.569, 30, (0 2), 2.660, 30, (200),(11),(130); 3.273, 20, ( 12). Chemical analysis by electron microprobe gave P 2 O 5 37.59, ZrO 2 32.27, HfO 2 0.34, FeO 0.20, MgO 10.37, ZnO 0.17, F 0.13, LOI 18.60, less O:F 0.05 = total 99.62 wt.%. The resulting empirical formula is ( –)Σ= 0.99 (Zr 0.99 Hf 0.01 )Σ= 1.00 P 2.00 O 8 (H 2 O) 4 on the basis of12 O atoms with H 2 O = 4 per formula unit from crystal-structure analysis, and the end-member formula is MgZr(PO 4 ) 2 (H 2 O) 4 .

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
