A study of barium minerals from the Yukon Territory

A study of rare barium minerals from the Yukon Territory has resulted in the discovery of at least one and possibly five new species. The present investigation is concerned with one of these, a barium-calcium-iron-alumino-silicate, which is tentatively classed as an inosilicate and named keeleite....
