Named to honor Carlos do Prado Barbosa. Carlosbarbosaite is a rare mineral that occurs only at the type locality at the Jaguaracu pegmatite in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It occurs there as a late-forming mineral filling cavities in albite. It appears as cream to pale yellow, long, flattened, lath-like crystals. Carlosbarbosaite is radioactive but does not fluoresce under either long- or short-wave ultraviolet light.
