N2 - Two new isostructural minerals radekškodaite-(La) (CaLa 5 )(Al 4 Fe 2+ )[Si 2 O 7 ][SiO 4 ] 5 O(OH) 3 and radekškodaite-(Ce) (CaCe 5 )(Al 4 Fe 2+ )[Si 2 O 7 ][SiO 4 ] 5 O(OH) 3 were discovered in polymineralic nodules from the Mochalin Log REE deposit, South Urals, Russia. Radekškodaite-(La) is associated with allanite-(Ce), allanite-(La), bastnäsite-(Ce), bastnäsite-(La), ferriallanite-(Ce), ferriallanite-(La), ferriperbøeite-(La), fluorbritholite-(Ce), törnebohmite-(Ce) and törnebohmite-(La). Radekškodaite-(Ce) is associated with ancylite-(Ce), bastnäsite-(Ce), bastnäsite-(La), lanthanite-(La), perbøeite-(Ce) and törnebohmite-(Ce). The new minerals form isolated anhedral grains up to 0.35 × 0.75 mm [radekškodaite-(La)] and 1 mm × 2 mm [radekškodaite-(Ce)]. Both minerals are greenish-brown with vitreous lustre. D calc = 4.644 [radekškodaite-(La)] and 4.651 [radekškodaite-(Ce)] g cm –3 . Both minerals are optically biaxial (+); radekškodaite-(La): α = 1.790(7), β = 1.798(5), γ = 1.825(8) and 2V meas = 60(10)°; radekškodaite-(Ce): α = 1.798(6), β = 1.806(6), γ = 1.833(8) and 2V meas = 65(10)°. Chemical data [wt.%, electron-microprobe; FeO:Fe 2 O 3 by charge balance; H 2 O by stochiometry; radekškodaite-(La)/radekškodaite-(Ce)] are: CaO 3.40/2.74, La 2 O 3 27.68/22.23, Ce 2 O 3 20.39/24.30, Pr 2 O 3 0.94/1.48, Nd 2 O 3 1.71/3.18, ThO 2 0.23/0.24, MgO 0.85/1.04, Al 2 O 3 10.35/10.84, MnO 0.64/0.69, FeO 2.55/2.76, Fe 2 O 3 3.12/2.57, TiO 2 0.13/0.04, SiO 2 26.03/26.10, F 0.10/0.09, H 2 O 1.62/1.63, –O=F –0.04/–0.04, total 99.70/99.89.

Both minerals are monoclinic, P 2 1 / m ; the unit-cell parameters [radekškodaite-(La)/radekškodaite-(Ce)] are: a = 8.9604(3)/8.9702(4), b = 5.7268(2)/5.7044(2), c = 25.1128(10)/25.1642(13) Å, β = 116.627(5)/116.766(6)°, V = 1151.98(7)/1149.68(11) Å 3 and Z = 2/2. The crystal structures are solved based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction data; R = 0.0554 [radekškodaite-(La)] and 0.0769 [radekškodaite-(Ce)]. Both minerals belong to the epidote–törnebohmite polysomatic series and represent first members of ET2 -type: their structure consists of regular alternating modules, one slab of the epidote (E) structure and two slabs of törnebohmite (T).
