Wikipedia summary
Adamsite-(Y)
Adamsite-(Y) (previously IMA 1999-020), chemical formula NaY(CO_3)_2·6H_2O is a mineral of sodium, yttrium, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. It is named after Frank Dawson Adams (1859-1942), professor of geology, McGill University. Its Mohs scale rating is 3.
Zabuyelite
Zabuyelite is the natural mineral form of lithium carbonate, with a formula Li_2CO_3. It was discovered in 1987 at Lake Zabuye, Tibet, after which it is named. It forms colorless vitreous monoclinic crystals.
