Scapolite is produced in nature by metasomatism, where hot high pressure water solutions of carbon dioxide and sodium chloride modify plagioclase.
[1] Chloroartinite is found in Sorel cements exposed to air.
[3] c = 21.19 Å; Z = 2 β = 106.933° The "lanthaballs" are lanthanoid atom clusters held together by carbonate and other ligands.
Praseodymium (Pr) or cerium (Ce) can substitute for lanthanum (La).
[29] Platinum can form complexes with carbonate and chloride ligands, in addition to an amino acid.
