Type Occurrence of Krivovichevite
General Appearance of Type Material:
Equant grains up to 1 cm across within galena aggregates; formed from galena by hydrothermal alteration.
Place of Conservation of Type Material:
Mineralogical Museum, St. Petersburg State University, Russia.
Geological and Mineralogical Museum, Geological Institute of the Kola Science Center, Academy of Sciences, Apatity, Russia (no. 6281/1.07.2005).
Geological and Mineralogical Museum, Geological Institute of the Kola Science Center, Academy of Sciences, Apatity, Russia (no. 6281/1.07.2005).
Geological Setting of Type Material:
Natrolite-aegirine-orthoclase vein within lujavrite; likely a late-stage hydrothermal phase formed by low temperature (<100oC) alteration of galena and natrolite, a process also responsible for the formation of Na-rich opal and quartz; may be leached from pseudomorphoses after galena
