Hello all,

the Zeravshanite page states that the name comes from the type locality of:

Darai-Pioz (Dara-i-Pioz; Dara-Pioz) Glacier, Alai (Alayskiy) Range, Tien Shan Mts, Region of Republican Subordination, Tajikistan

How can i make it clear that Zarafshan Range is part of the Pamir-Alai Range in the name description?

Vik,

Why not just say that it is named after the Zeravshanite Range, rather than using the silly transliteration of Zarafshan.
