Abstract
⺠We have assessed the molecular structure of the mineral brazilianite NaAl3(PO4)2(OH)4. ⺠It is a semi precious jewel. ⺠Brazilianite is composed of chains of edge-sharing Al-O octahedra linked by P-O tetrahedra. ⺠Raman spectroscopy proves the presence of both phosphate and hydrogen phosphate units.
