Description
English: :Locality: Petrelius River, Khibiny, Kola, Russian Federation
Size: 0.14 × 0.08 × 0.05 cm
Description: A small translucent crystalline fragment from the type locality (TL) of this extremely rare species. This fragment is part of the holotype. Georgbarsanovite is a very rare mineral of the eudialyte group, formerly known under unaccepted name as barsanovite.
Barsanovite, described in 1963 as а monoclinic dimorph of trigonal eudialyte, was discredited in 1969 bесаuse its assignment to the monoclinic system had been proved to bе erroneous. Revision study of the barsanovite type specimen carried out with use of the X-ray single crystal analysis has shown that the mineral is trigonal and has а distinct

combination of cations and anions in the key sites of the crystal structure. The mineral was revalidated in 2003 as georgbarsanovite given as before after prof. Georgiy Pavlovich Barsanov (1907-1991). [rruff]
