Aradite is a very rare mineral with formula BaCa6[(SiO4)(VO4)](VO4)2F.[2][3] Aradite and its phosphorus-analogue, zadovite,[4] were found in paralavas (rocks formed due to pyrometamorphism) of the Hatrurim Formation.[2] Both aradite and zadovite have structures similar to that of nabimusaite. Structure of all three minerals is related to that of hatrurite.[5]
