Jadarite is a white, earthy monoclinic silicate mineral, sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide with the chemical formula LiNaSiB3O7(OH). == Discovery and classification ==

Jadarite was discovered in December 2004, in drill core from the Jadar Valley (, Jadar, ) in Serbia, from which it is named. The find was located southwest of the Cer mountain. Findings were originally located in the villages of Jarebice and Slatina and later in Draginac.
