Its appearance here strongly resemble one of its "K-Nb brother" from Khibiny massif - Shcherbakovite. Associating minerals are black prismatic Magnesio-Arfvedsonite and white altered K-Feldspar. FOV is ~2x1.7 cm. Collected by Dmitrii I. Belakovskii in August of 1983. Pavel M. Kartashov collection and photo.
