Tsepinite-K, Elpidite, Celadonite, Quartz, Anatase

Tsepinite-K : K₂(Ti,Nb)₂[(OH,O)₂|Si₄O₁₂] · 3H₂O, Elpidite : Na₂ZrSi₆O₁₅·3H₂O, Celadonite : K(Mg,Fe²⁺)(Fe³⁺,Al)[(OH)₂|Si₄O₁₀], Quartz : SiO₂, Anatase : TiO₂

Locality: Hilairitovoye pegmatite, Kirovskii apatite mine (Kirovsky Mine; Kirov Mine), Kukisvumchorr Mt, Khibiny Massif, Kola Peninsula, Murmanskaja Oblast', Northern Region, Russia

Orange prismatic tsepinite-K crystals overgrow on brownish long-prismatic elpidite crystals in quartz veinlet. Associating minerals are almost black, deep blue shining anatase crystals and green tabular celadonite precipitations. FOV ~8x6 mm. Collected by I.V. Pekov. Pavel M. Kartashov collection and photo.
