BER_2680_PL: Taxonomic Report for the Redbricksatin Manganese-Beryl Variant

A 307.2 KB PDF report authored by Catalin Remus Negrean documents the formal taxonomic classification of the Redbricksatin mineral specimen. The dataset serves as the primary scientific record for the Remusite Variant, a high-pressure Manganese-Beryl discovered in the Góra Kalwaria Suite in Poland. It was last updated on May 6, 2026.

Use Cases

• Classifying novel mineral variants based on documented physical properties like hardness and density.
• Studying the relationship between chemical composition (trivalent manganese) and optical properties (pleochroic flash).
• Comparing structural characteristics of high-pressure beryl varieties against traditional classifications.
• Validating diamagnetic properties in minerals to infer the absence of specific elemental stabilizers like iron.

Strengths

• Report includes specific, verified physical measurements: a hardness of 8.0 Mohs and a density of 2.6804 g/cm³.
• Provides detailed characterization of unique specimen properties, including its 'Earth-Red' hue and 3mm indigo-blue pleochroic flash.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• Dataset consists of a single 307.2 KB PDF report, representing a very limited scope of one specimen.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; data is presented in a narrative scientific format.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and structure require manual inspection after download.
