New mineral(?) mentioned in Russian media recently.

See: [russiatoday.ru]

Could it be IMA2007-052?

Apparently this is different species. IMA2007-052? is mica with quite usual structure for mica and absorption capability for them.
"Ivanyukite" should be something similar to labuntsovite group with ceolite structure.

IMA 2007-052 is voloshinite, Rb-analog of "lepidolite".
The name is on the Excalibur catalogue: [www.excaliburmineral.com]

Most probably ivanukite is the name for the series IMA 2007-041-042-043 respectively Na-, K-, and Cu-dominant.
