Abstract
Abstract Caseyite, [(V5+O2)Al10–x(OH)20–2x(H2O)18–2x]2[H2V4+V95+O28][V105+O28]2[(Na,K,Ca)2–y(SO4)2–z⋅(60+8x+y+4z) H2O], where x = 0–2.5, y = 0–2, z = 0–2, is a new mineral (IMA 2019-002) occurring in low-temperature, post-mining, secondary mineral assemblages at the Burro, Packrat, and West Sunday mines in the Uravan Mineral Belt of Colorado, U.S.A. Crystals of caseyite are yellow tapering needles or blades, with a pale yellow streak, vitreous luster, brittle tenacity, curved fracture, no cleavage, Mohs hardness between 2 and 3, and 2.151 g/cm3 calculated density. Caseyite is optically biaxial (+) with α = 1.659(3), β = 1.670(3), γ = 1.720(3) (white light), 2V = 52.6(5)°, has strong r < ν dispersion, optical orientation Z ≈ a (elongation of needles), and no pleochroism. Electron-probe microanalysis provided the empirical formula [(V5+O2)Al8.94(OH)17.88(H2O)15.88]2[H2V4+V95+O28][V105+O28]2[(Na0.82Ca0.35K0.27)Σ1.44 (SO4)1.33⋅70.24H2O] (+0.94 H). Caseyite is monoclinic, P21/n, a = 14.123(8), b = 30.998(15), c = 21.949(11) Å, β = 97.961(8)°, V = 9516(9) Å3, and Z = 2. The crystal structure (R1 = 0.0654 for 9162 Io>2σI reflections) contains both normal [V10O28]6– and doubly protonated mixed-valence [H2V14+V95+O28]5– decavanadate isopolyanions, and a novel vanadoaluminate heteropolycation (“flat-Al10V☐2”), ideally [(V5+O2)Al10(OH)20(H2O)18]11+, closely related to the technologically important flat-Al13 polyoxocation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
