Formula:

Na₂Ca₄(CO₃)₅

One of three Na-Ca carbonates synthesized in an multianvil experiments at 6 GPa, i.e., conditions corresponding to the Earth's upper mantle. Has more than a single crystallographically distinct carbonate group, that is, other than in case of the 'Unnamed (Na-Ca Carbonate I)' but similar to the 'Unnamed (Na-Ca Carbonate II)'.
