Modris Baum collection. The larger xl is about 19 x 7 x 3 mm.
This has now been conclusively identified as ordinary kupletskite by Paula Piilonen at CMN.
Using the generic AGM formula A2BC7D2T8O26(OH)4(F,O,OH) and the conventional cation assignment scheme on the average of 34 probes I get:

A2 = (K1.68,Na0.08,Rb0.07,)1.83
B = ...

Aegirine (black), analcime (behind the xl) and microcline (white) are listed ...
