Villiaumite
Bright red Villiaumite filling the gaps between Natrolite crystals,
Kedykverpakhk.
A 1cm crystal of Villiaumite from Koashva.
Inclusions of red Villiaumite in blue Kogarkoite from Alluaiv. A typical
saline paragenese is often observed
in the central part of hydrothermal bodies in Lovozero. Khomyakov made an
interesting study of these
paragenese.
