SERENDIBITE, A COMPLEX BOROSILICATE MINERAL FROM PONTIAC, QUEBEC: DESCRIPTION, CHEMICAL COMPOSITION, AND CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC DATA
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Serendibite has been recently discovered in the Portage-du-Fort area, Pontiac Regional County Municipality, Quebec. Dark blue, often polysynthetic twinned on {011} and with no cleavage, serendibite crystals occur exclusively in a calc-silicate rock. Fine-grained anhedral serendibite, sometimes poikiloblastic, occurs with aluminous diopside. Less commonly, serendibite may form decussate masses in the same rock type. Serendibite is biaxial negative, with indices of refraction α 1.685(2), β 1.700(2), and γ 1.712(2); 2 V meas. = 93.6(4)°, 2 V calc. = 91°. Orientation matrix is X ^ c = +20.5°, Y ^ b = −42.6°, and Z ^ a = −24.6°. Dispersion is strong, r with cell parameters refined from an X-ray powder-diffraction pattern: a 10.035(2), b 10.423(3), c 8.648 (2) A, α 106.47(3)°, β 95.91(2)°, γ 124.46(2)°, V 674.3(2) A3. The seven strongest lines of the X-ray powder diffraction pattern [ d in A( I )( hkl )] are: 3.328(45)( ![Formula][2] 230), 3.029 (96)(012, 021, ![Formula][3] ![Formula][4] 2), 2.854(96)(0 ![Formula][5] 3, 0 ![Formula][6] 1, 120), 2.689(29)(3 ![Formula][7] 1), 2.604(95)(030), 2.469(100)( ![Formula][8] ![Formula][9] 3, 0 ![Formula][10] 3), and 2.357(28)(2 ![Formula][11] 3, 23 ![Formula][12] ). The crystal structure determination refined to R = 2.1% for 3877 unique reflections. The borosilicate structure, a member of the aenigmatite-rhonite group, is composed of layers parallel to (011). Layers of tetrahedral chains cross-linked by octahedral polyhedra alternate with layers of octahedral chains cross-linked by square antiprism polyhedral sheets. Tetrahedral and octahedral polyhedra are partially ordered and site assignments were determined. All cation sites are disordered to some degree.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
