578-Y5ELamprophyllite (Na,Mn2+)3(Sr,Na)2(Ti,Fe3+)3(Si2O7)2O2(OH,O,F)2
Dimensions: 4.5 cm x 4 cm x 3 cm
Golden-brown "suns" of Lamprophyllite in syenit-pegmatite matrix. Such morphology is very untypical for Lamprophyllite from Kola peninsula, which usually form tabular plates in alkaline rocks and pegmatites of the region. Sun-like aggregates from here usually consist of astrophyllite. Sengischorr Mount is the single locality of Kola which is famous with its Lamprophyllite suns since Fersman's times. Associating minerals in the specimen are brownish-red Eudialyte, dark-green Aegirine and very minor feldspar. Specimen size is 4.5x4x3 cm. Collected by Viktor Grishin. Pavel M. Kartashov collection and photo.

Golden-brown mica-like plates of Lamprophyllite from juvit-pegmatite of Material'naya adit. Associating minerals are raspberry-red Eudialyte and green fibrous Aegirine. Specimen size is 6x5 cm. Selfcollected on dumps of the adit in Summer of 1984. Pavel M. Kartashov collection and photo.
