Kleusonit

Kleusonite adalah anggota kelompok mineral crichtonite dengan rumus kimia (Pb,Sr)(U⁴⁺,U⁶⁺)(Fe²⁺,Zn)₂(Ti,Fe²⁺,Fe³⁺)₁₈(O,OH)₃₈. Kelompok mineral ini mengandung sekitar tiga belas titanat logam kompleks. Struktur mineral kelompok ini diperumit oleh seringnya kembaran skala halus dan metamiktisasi karena unsur radioaktif.
