Name:
Named in honor of Arie Lev Gilat (b. 1939, Moscow, USSR), geologist with the Geological Survey of Israel, Jerusalem.
A member of the nabimusaite group exhibiting a modular intercalated antiperovskite structure derived from hatrurite.
The P analogue of dargaite. Chemically similar to zadovite.
Ariegilatite at the TL, is overgrown and partially replaced by stracherite.
