N2 - The new mineral windhoekite was discovered in a specimen from the Ariskop Quarry, near Windhoek, Namibia. Associated minerals are fluorapophyllite, aegirine, microcline, arisite-(Ce), arisite-(La). Windhoekite is yellow-brown, translucent; streak is beige. It forms isolated long-prismatic crystals up to 0.15 × 4 mm and their radial aggregates in cavities in phonolite. D calc is 2.630 g/cm 3, D meas is 2.62 (2) g/cm 3. The new mineral is biaxial (-), α = 1.610(3), β = 1.662(3), γ = 1.671(3), 2V (meas.) = 50(10)°, 2V (calc.) = 44°. Dispersion is not observed, pleochroism is strong (Y ≈ Z > X, brown to dark brown), orientation: X ≈ α; Z = c. The IR spectrum is given. The chemical composition is (electron microprobe, mean of 5 analyses, wt%): CaO 9.24, MnO 0.85, Fe 2O 3 23.14, Al 2O 3 0.41, SiO 2 46.32, H 2O (by gas chromatography) 21.0; total 100.96. The empirical formula based on 34 O atoms is: (Ca 1.68Mn 0.12)Fe 3+ 2.96(Si 7.87Al 0.08O 20)(OH) 4 10H 1.98O. The simplified formula is: Ca 2Fe 3+ 3-x[(Si,Al) 8O 20
