About Diaoyudaoite
Formula:
NaAl11O17
Colour:
Colourless, light green
Lustre:
Vitreous
Hardness:
7½ - 8
Specific Gravity:
3.30
Crystal System:
Hexagonal
Name:
Named for Diaoyudao Island, the Chinese name for the Senkaku islands.
NOTE: There is strong suspicion that diaoyudaoite, from all its known localities, is an INDUSTRIAL WASTE product (from chromium refining, corundum synthesis, etc.) and not a natural mineral.
