Ferrokentbrooksite

Ferrokentbrooksite is a moderately rare mineral of the eudialyte group,[2] with formula Na15Ca6(Fe,Mn)3Zr3NbSi25O73(O,OH,H2O)3(Cl,F,OH)2.

[2] The original (holotype) material is also relatively enriched in rare earth elements, including cerium and yttrium.

[3] Ferrokentbrooksite was discovered in Mont Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, Canada – a site wealth in rare alkaline minerals.

[5] At the site ferrokentbrooksite coexists with aegirine, albite, ancylite-(Ce), calcite, catapleiite, fluorite, fluorapatite, gonnardite, microcline, natrolite, nepheline, rhodochrosite, and serandite.

[3] Beside fluorine, ferrokentbrooksite has admixtures of rare earth elements (including cerium, yttrium, lanthanum, neodymium and some gadolinium and samarium), potassium, strontium, and contains minor admixtures of titanium, hafnium, and tantalum.
