Colour:
Yellow-brown
Lustre:

Member of:
Eudialyte Group
Name:
Named by O. Johnsen, J.D. Grice, and R.A. Gault in 1998 in honor of Charles Kent Brooks (1943-), professor at the Geological Institute, University of Copenhagen. He was the leader of fourteen geological expeditions to the Kangerdlugssuaq area of east Greenland and collected the type specimen.
Eudialyte Group. "Nb-REE-Mn-F" end member (Johnsen et al., 1998), but REE does not dominate at any structural site. Difference from eudialyte sensu stricto is mainly in (1) dominance of VMn at the M2 site, (2) VINb presence at the M3 site, (3) dominance of F, (4) high amount of REE.

Element combination of kentbrooksite is unique among approved mineral species.
