Hashemite
General
CategoryChromate minerals
Formula
(repeating unit)		Barium Chromate Ba(S,Cr)O4

Hashemite is a very rare barium chromate mineral[1] with the formula Ba(Cr,S)O4.[2] It is a representative of natural chromates - a relatively small and rare group of minerals. Hashemite is the barium-analogue of tarapacáite. It is also the chromium-analogue of baryte, and belongs to the baryte group of minerals. Hashemite is stoichiometrically similar to crocoite and chromatite.[1] Hashemite is orthorhombic, with space group Pnma. I was found together with chromium-bearing ettringite and an apatite group mineral in the Hatrurim Formation,[2] known for the occurrence of rocks formed due to natural pyrometamorphism.[1] Hashemite is named after the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.[2]
