Davisite

Davisite is an exceedingly rare mineral of the pyroxene group, with formula CaScAlSiO6. It is the scandium-dominant member.[1][2] It stands for scandium-analogue of other pyroxene-group members, esseneite, grossmanite and kushiroite.[2] Davisite is one of scarce minerals containing essential scandium.[3]
