Davinciite is a very rare mineral of the eudialyte group,[2][3] with the simplified formula Na12K3Ca6Fe32+Zr3(Si26O73OH)Cl2.
The mineral was named after Leonardo da Vinci[4] to refer to the atypical geometrical forms he tended to use, compared by the authors of the mineral description to the atypical (not ideally centrosymmetrical) geometry of the Davinciite structure.
The other quite atypical feature of Davinciite is its lavender colour, while the typical eudialyte is rather pink or red.
Aegirine, delhayelite, nepheline, potassium feldspar, shcherbakovite, sodalite (silicates), djerfisherite, rasvumite (sulfides), nitrite, nacaphite, and villiaumite are associated minerals.
[3] Impurities in davinciite include strontium, manganese, titanium, with minor aluminium, barium, hafnium, and niobium.
