About Badengzhuite
Formula:
TiP
Crystal System:
Hexagonal
Name:
Named in honor of Badengzhu (b. 28 January 1939), Tibetan geologist of the Tibet Ore Industry Co., Ltd., Lhasa. In the literature, his name is sometimes written with “Ba” as his surname and “Dengzhu” as his given name. He discovered the chromite ore bodies in the Luobusa ophiolite in 1966. Starting from 2012, he presided over the deep prospecting work of Luobusa and discovered the Cr-80 ore body.
Known synthetic analogue. Second phosphide mineral with essential Ti after florenskyite.
Some have suggested this is an anthropogenic material.
Most likely synonymous with 'UM1986-25-P:Ti'.
