This book provides a description of all occurrences of nesosilicates in Brazil, constituting the ninth volume of the Encyclopedia of Brazilian minerals. (AU)
This project represents the continuation of the work that is already being successfully developed, the study of new and rare minerals from Brazil, to increase the current mineralogical knowledge through research including crystal structure determination and solution of mineralogical nomenclature problems. Studies regarding the relationship among these minerals and their associations (asse…
This book provides a description of all occurrences of sorosilicates and cyclosilicates in Brazil, constituting the ninth volume of the Encyclopedia of Brazilian minerals. (AU)
This is a compilation of historical and descriptive information for the minerals first described from Brazil; it includes both valid and invalid, discredited species, unnamed, unidentified, problematic minerals, and so on. (AU)
This book describes all occurrences of inosilicates (pyroxenes, amphiboles etc.) in Brazil, including their properties and paragenesis. (AU)

Araxá is a very important region for mining, with emphasis onniobium extraction. Its geology is also of great relevance for studiesmineralogical and crystallographic, and can contribute to the improvement indiscovery of new minerals in the country. Therefore, this project aims toanalyze carbonatite alteration samples from the Barreiro Alkaline Complex, in orderto better characterize its m…
Despite the current technology available and accumulated knowledge over time, there are rare and not fully characterized minerals in Brazil. In the context of the many regions still little explored, the region of the alkaline massif in Poços de Caldas, Minas Gerais, particularly the Quarry of the Pedreira da Prefeitura, whose mineralogy is not well understood, fits in. Thus, it is propose…
The main objective of this scientific initiation project is to study rocks collected in the Lavra Boca Rica, located in Galileia, Minas Gerais, characterizing its main constituent minerals and deepening the studies on the occurrences of rare phosphates and oxalates previously identified in these rocks but not fully described in the literature of region. (AU)
In Brazil there are several incompletely studied rare-earth elements-bearing rocks, such as the alkaline rocks of Poços de Caldas, Minas Gerais, where some new minerals have been described and others are under study. Detailed mineralogical study (chemical and crystallographic) of these and other rocks of Brazilian occurrence is intended to be performed. (AU)

The rocks of the Poços de Caldas Alkaline Complex contain many rare minerals, some of them rich in rare earth elements. However, many of these minerals have only been observed or partially described, it justify why only 2 new minerals species were find there (fluorlamprophyllite - (SrNa)Ti2Na3Ti(Si2O7)2O2F2 and manganoeudialyte - Na14Ca6Mn3Zr3[Si26O72(OH)2](H2O,Cl,O,OH). The study of the …
