Radim Nováček
Formula:
Mg(UO2)2(AsO4)2 · 10H2O
Colour:
Pale yellow, yellow
Lustre:
Resinous, Waxy
Hardness:
2 - 2½
Specific Gravity:
3.25 - 3.70
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Member of:
Autunite Group
Name:
Named nováčekite in 1951 by Clifford Frondel in honor of Radim Nováček [March 21, 1905 Ústí Nad Orlicí, Bohemia, Austria-Hungary - February 12, 1942 Mauthausen, Austria] mineralogist and analytical chemist, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic. Following persecution of the Czech intelligentsia under Nazi occupation, Radim Nováček became involved in resistance intelligence operations starting in 1939. He was ultimately arrested in October 1941, convicted of treason, and sent to the Mauthausen concentration camp where he was executed. Prior to his arrest, he had recruited fellow mineralogist Karel Tuček (tučekite) to the resistance.

This mineral was renamed to nováčekite-II with the Roman numerals indicating hydration/dehydration stages (Walenta 1964) and the diacritical marks were added in 2008 (Burke). Renamed to nováčekite (with diacritics and without Roman numerals) in 2022.
Isostructural with:
Autunite, Bassetite, Saléeite
Formerly called nováčekite-II.
Chemically similar to metanováčekite (the lower hydrate), hydronováčekite (the higher hydrate) and seelite (an arsenite/arsenate).

Note: Hydronováčekite (formerly called nováčekite-I) is very unstable under ambient conditions and quickly dehydrates to nováčekite, in part also to metanováčekite (Walenta, 1964).
Nováčekite may also reversibly rehydrate from metanováčekite under ambient conditions.

Optical Data of NováčekiteHide

Type:
Biaxial (-)
RI values:
nα = 1.543 nβ = 1.570 nγ = 1.577 nω = 1.578 nε = 1.548
Birefringence:
0.032
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.034
Based on recorded range of RI values above.

Interference Colours:
The colours simulate birefringence patterns seen in thin section under crossed polars. They do not take into account mineral colouration or opacity.

Michel-Levy Bar The default colours simulate the birefringence range for a 30 µm thin-section thickness. Adjust the slider to simulate a different thickness.

Grain Simulation You can rotate the grain simulation to show how this range might look as you rotated a sample under crossed polars. Each grain retains its interference colour (retardation) while its brightness falls to black at extinction and reaches a maximum between extinction positions.

Surface Relief:
Low (positive)
Relative to Canada balsam mounting medium (n ≈ 1.537).

This shows the grain boundary and Becke line effect under plane-polarised light, based on the contrast between this mineral's average refractive index and the mounting medium. It does not take into account mineral colouration.
In focus
Interference Figure:
This shows the idealized biaxial acute bisectrix (Bxa) interference figure - the conoscopic view for a grain cut perpendicular to the acute bisectrix, using this mineral's 2V. The two small white dots mark the melatopes - the points where the two optic axes emerge - and are shown only when they fall within the field of view. The coloured bands are isochromatics, and the dark bands are isogyres.

Rotate the stage: at 0°/90° the isogyres form a cross through the melatopes; at 45° they pull apart into curved hyperbolas. That splitting on rotation - absent in a uniaxial figure - is the standard diagnostic test for telling biaxial minerals from uniaxial ones. If 2V is large, the melatopes may fall outside the field of view, as they often do at the microscope too.

No measured or calculated 2V is on file for this mineral, so the value used here (53°) is estimated from its recorded refractive indices and optic sign, not from a direct 2V measurement.

RadioactivityHide

Radioactivity:
Element % Content Activity (Bq/kg) Radiation Type
Uranium (U) 46.5650% 11,641,250 α, β, γ
Thorium (Th) 0.0000% 0 α, β, γ
Potassium (K) 0.0000% 0 β, γ

For comparison:

  • Banana: ~15 Bq per fruit
  • Granite: 1,000–3,000 Bq/kg
  • EU exemption limit: 10,000 Bq/kg

Note: Risk is shown relative to daily recommended maximum exposure to non-background radiation of 1000 µSv/year. Note that natural background radiation averages around 2400 µSv/year so in reality these risks are probably extremely overstated! With infrequent handling and safe storage natural radioactive minerals do not usually pose much risk.

Interactive Simulator:

Note: The mass selector refers to the mass of radioactive mineral present, not the full specimen, also be aware that the matrix may also be radioactive, possibly more radioactive than this mineral!

Activity: –

DistanceDose rateRisk
1 cm
10 cm
1 m

The external dose rate (D) from a radioactive mineral is estimated by summing the gamma radiation contributions from its Uranium, Thorium, and Potassium content, disregarding daughter-product which may have a significant effect in some cases (eg 'pitchblende'). This involves multiplying the activity (A, in Bq) of each element by its specific gamma ray constant (Γ), which accounts for its unique gamma emissions. The total unshielded dose at 1 cm is then scaled by the square of the distance (r, in cm) and multiplied by a shielding factor (μshield). This calculation provides a 'worst-case' or 'maximum risk' estimate because it assumes the sample is a point source and entirely neglects any self-shielding where radiation is absorbed within the mineral itself, meaning actual doses will typically be lower. The resulting dose rate (D) is expressed in microsieverts per hour (μSv/h).

D = ((AU × ΓU) + (ATh × ΓTh) + (AK × ΓK)) / r2 × μshield
