Abstract

Further mosaic-like data were recorded on the mineral occurrences of the Carpathian–Pannonian region in this fifth member of the series arranged by countries and localities. Each “mosaic” contains a concise mineral description, mainly based on XRPD, SEM-EDX and EPMA measurements and a concise description of the mineral paragenesis. Some minerals are first-time descriptions from the entire discussed region, but all are newly documented occurrences for at least the described locality.

From Hungary humboldtine and weddellite are described from the coalbed of Csordakút (Bicske), and data from Sr-rich and other Aluminium Phosphate Sulphate (APS) minerals from the ore mineralization of the Lahóca Hill at Recsk are also reported.

Chemical data of Mg-rich tourmaline from the Harghita volcanic ridge are given, and also kyrgyzstanite is described from the ore mineralization of Baia Sprie, Romania.

From Slovakia Na-containing sulphates (kröhnkite, ferrinatrite, tamarugite) from the ore mineralization of Farbište (Poniky) and an arsenate (bariopharmacosiderite) from the ore mineralization of Rožňava are also introduced.
