Olenii Creek (Olenii Ruchei; Oleny Ruchei), Khibiny Massif, Kola Peninsula, Murmanskaja Oblast', Northern Region, Russia

Fragment of drill-core demonstrating distribution of brownish LREE-rich burbankite within white manganoan calcite. Associating mineral is pyrrhotite - dark bronze grains in upper part of the specimen. On its right side visible white dawsonite veinlet surrounded by halo of darkened calcite. Along this veinlet it become violet-grey colour and looks ...

Synchysite-(Ce) : Ca(Ce,La)[F|(CO3)2], Strontianite : SrCO3, Huanghoite-(Ce) : BaCe[F|(CO3)2], Calcite (Var: Manganoan Calcite) : (Ca,Mn)CO3

Olenii Creek (Olenii Ruchei; Oleny Ruchei), Khibiny Massif, Kola Peninsula, Murmanskaja Oblast', Northern Region, Russia

In this specimen burbankite was decomposed with formation of very typical full of holes pseudomorphoses. The main constituent of these PS is honey-yellow very light coloured tabular synchisite-(Ce). Its tabular crystals form cellular framework of these pseudomorphoses, in holes of which grow small acicular balls of white strontianite. In these PS ...
