Jadarite is a white earthy monoclinic silicate mineral whose chemical formula is: LiNaSiB3O7(OH) or Na2OLi2O(SiO2)2(B2O3)3H2O. It was discovered in November 2006 in drill core from the Jadar Valley (Serbian Cyrillic: Јадар Jadar) in Serbia from which it is named. It was confirmed as a new mineral after scientists at the Natural History Museum in London and the National Research Council of Canada conducted tests on it.
