0.8 mm wide orangish crystal of lovozerite in a mass (see another view) of small crystals/grains of this Ca,Zr,OH-rich member of lovozerite group, a Ca-analogue of litvinskite (which is []-dominant). Aegirine, astrophyllite/lamprophyllite-like mineral and an unspecified creamy massive mineral are present in the specimen, which was obtained from Mikhail Murashko/Sergey Vasiliev - thanks!
