It was discovered in the U.S. state of Utah and formally described in 2008. The mineral's name dervies from its status as the magnesium analogue of pascoite. DescriptionMagnesiopascoite is a member of the pascoite group and is the magnesium analogue of pascoite.{{sfn|Kampf|Steele|2008|p=680}} It is transparent and bright orange in color,[3] occurring as intergrown, parallel stackings of crystals up to several millimeters in the largest dimension.{{sfn|Kampf|Steele|2008|p=680}}[3] The crystals vary from tabular to equant to prismatic.{{sfn|Kampf|Steele|2008|p=680}}[3] The mineral dissolves slowly in water and quickly in cold, dilute hydrochloric acid. It decomposes rapidly when mildly heated, likely as a result of dehydration.{{sfn|Kampf|Steele|2008|p=680}} Structure and compositionThe crystal structure of magnesiopascoite consists of the decavanadate anion (V10O28)6− and interstitial {Ca2Mg(H2O)16}6+ consisting of Mg(H2O)6 octahedra and seven-fold coordinated CaO2(H2O)5.{{sfn|Kampf|Steele|2008|pp=682–683}} The structure differs from that of pascoite primarily in cation coordination in the interstitial complex.{{sfn|Kampf|Steele|2008|p=683}} In addition to calcium and magnesium, magnesiopascoite contains minute quantities of zinc and cobalt.{{sfn|Kampf|Steele|2008|p=681}} HistoryJoe Marty discovered specimens of magnesiopascoite in San Juan County, Utah, in the Blue Cap mine and the nearby Vanadium Queen mine.{{sfn|Kampf|Steele|2008|p=680}} The mineral was named "magnesiopascoite" because it is the magnesium analogue of pascoite.[3] The mineral and name were approved by the IMA Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification (IMA 2007-025).{{sfn|Kampf|Steele|2008|p=680}} Magnesiopascoite was described in 2008 in the journal Canadian Mineralogist.{{sfn|Kampf|Steele|2008|p=679}} The two cotype specimens are held at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County in the US State of California.{{sfn|Kampf|Steele|2008|p=680}} OccurrenceIn the area of the type locality, the reducing environment caused by carbonaceous material in the Salt Wash and Brushy Basin members of the Morrison Formation precipitated uranium and vanadium minerals from solution. After mining, subsequent leaching and oxidation by groundwater created magnesiopascoite.{{sfn|Kampf|Steele|2008|p=680}} The mineral has been found in association with gypsum, martyite, montroseite, pyrite and rossite.[3] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web|title=Magnesiopascoite|url=http://www.mindat.org/min-32206.html|publisher=Mindat.org|accessdate=July 21, 2012}} 2. ^[https://www.mineralienatlas.de/lexikon/index.php/MineralData?mineral=Magnesiopascoite Mineralienatlas] 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web |title=Magnesiopascoite |url=http://www.handbookofmineralogy.org/pdfs/magnesiopascoite.pdf |work=Handbook of Mineralogy |publisher=Mineralogical Society of America |format=PDF|accessdate=July 21, 2012}} Bibliography
