'''Dargaite''' is a rare mineral with formula BaCa<sub>12</sub>(SiO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>4</sub>(SO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>.  It is the [barium](/source/barium)-analogue of [nabimusaite](/source/nabimusaite), also differing from it in the lack of fluorine. It is one of many recently approved new minerals coming from the [Hatrurim](/source/Hatrurim) complex. Dargaite, as nabimusaite, is trigonal (space group ''R''-3''m'').<ref>: Gfeller, F., Galuskina, I.O., Galuskin, E.V., Armbruster, T., Vapnik, Y., Dulski, M., Gardocki, M., Jeżak, L., and Murashko, M., 2015.
