Hawthorne University of Manitoba, Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada Vladimir Y. Karpenko Fersman Mineralogical Museum, RAS, Moscow, [email protected] Nalivkinite, a new astrophyllite-group mineral, was discovered in the moraine of the Darai-Pioz alkaline massif located at the intersection of the Zeravshansky, Turkestansky and Alaisky Ridges, Tadjikistan. Nalivkinite occurs in the amphibole-quartz-feldspar rock in association with calcybeborosilite-(Y), bafertisite, jinshajiangite, zircon and thorite. Nalivkinite is brown with a bronze hue and a vitreous luster; in thin plates, it is transparent. Mohs hard- 3 3 ness is 3, Dmeas. = 3.32(2) g/cm , Dcalc. = 3.315 g/cm . It is biaxial positive, np = 1.703(2), nm= 1.716(2), ng =1.745(2), 2Vmeas. = +68(2)°, 2Vcalc. = +68.6°. Nalivkinite is triclinic, space group P1, a = 5.3745(6) Å; b = 11.9299(15) Å; c = 11.6509(14) Å; a =113.325(3)°, b = 94.524(2)°, g = 103.080(2)°, V = 656.2(2) Å3, Z = 1. Cell dimensions refined from X-ray powder diffraction data are as follows: a = 5.3707(2) Å; b = 11.9327(5) Å; c = 11.6546(4) Å; a =113.384(1)°, b = 94.547(1)°, 103.047(1)°, V = 655.85(2) Å3. The strongest reflections in the X-ray powder diffraction powder pattern are as follows: [(d, Å), (I, %), (hkl)]: 10.56 (100) (001), 3.50 (100) (003), 2.780 (80) (1–42), 2.648 (45) (211), 2578 (70)(130), 2.474 (15) (212), 2.295 (30) (131), 2.106 (35) (142), 1.760 (30) (133), 1.660 (15) (0–73). The infrared spectrum of nalivkinite is similar to that of astrophyllite, and the strongest lines are as follows (cm–1): 3600, 1621, 1077(sh), 1056, 975, 929, 696, 649, 566, 441, 438.

Agpaitic nepheline syenites have complex, Na-Ca-Zr-Ti minerals as the main hosts for zirconium and titanium, rather than zircon and titanite, which are characteristic for miaskitic rocks. The transition from a miaskitic to an agpaitic crystallization regime in silica-undersaturated magma has traditionally been related to increasing peralkalinity of the magma, but halogen and water contents are also important parameters. The Larvik Plutonic Complex (LPC) in the Permian Oslo Rift, Norway consists of intrusions of hypersolvus monzonite (larvikite), nepheline monzonite (lardalite) and nepheline syenite. Pegmatites ranging in composition from miaskitic syenite with or without nepheline to mildly agpaitic nepheline syenite are the latest products of magmatic differentiation in the complex. The pegmatites can be grouped in (at least) four distinct suites from their magmatic Ti and Zr silicate mineral assemblages.

  • Chemical Composition and Petrogenetic Implications of Eudialyte-Group Mineral in the Peralkaline Lovozero Complex, Kola Peninsula, Russia
    minerals Article Chemical Composition and Petrogenetic Implications of Eudialyte-Group Mineral in the Peralkaline Lovozero Complex, Kola Peninsula, Russia Lia Kogarko 1,* and Troels F. D. Nielsen 2 1 Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences, 119991 Moscow, Russia 2 Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, 1350 Copenhagen, Denmark; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 23 September 2020; Accepted: 16 November 2020; Published: 20 November 2020 Abstract: Lovozero complex, the world’s largest layered peralkaline intrusive complex hosts gigantic deposits of Zr-, Hf-, Nb-, LREE-, and HREE-rich Eudialyte Group of Mineral (EGM). The petrographic relations of EGM change with time and advancing crystallization up from Phase II (differentiated complex) to Phase III (eudialyte complex). EGM is anhedral interstitial in all of Phase II which indicates that EGM nucleated late relative to the main rock-forming and liquidus minerals of Phase II. Saturation in remaining bulk melt with components needed for nucleation of EGM was reached after the crystallization about 85 vol. % of the intrusion. Early euhedral and idiomorphic EGM of Phase III crystalized in a large convective volume of melt together with other liquidus minerals and was affected by layering processes and formation of EGM ore. Consequently, a prerequisite for the formation of the ore deposit is saturation of the alkaline bulk magma with EGM. It follows that the potential for EGM ores in Lovozero is restricted to the parts of the complex that hosts cumulus EGM. Phase II with only anhedral and interstitial EGM is not promising for this type of ore.

Her works include The Unwomanly Face of War (1985), Last Witnesses (1985), Boys in Zinc (1991), Chernobyl Prayer (1997) and Second-Hand Time (2013). She has won many international awards, including the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature for ‘her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time’. Andrew Bromfield earned his degree in Russian Studies at Sussex University and lived in Russia for several years. He has been a full-time translator of Russian literature for more than thirty years and is best known for translating modern authors, but his work also includes books on Russian art, Russian classics and non–fiction, with a range from Tolstoy to the Moscow Conceptualism Movement. On 20 January 1801 the Cossacks of the Don Hetman Vasily Orlov were ordered to march to India. A month was set for the stage as far as Orenburg, and three months to march from there ‘via Bukharia and Khiva to the Indus River’.

Epshtein Mir Publishers Moscow First published 1990 Revised from the 1987 Russian edition From the blurb: A fascinating and easily understandable narrative is devoted to soil-exploring sciences and describes the history of soil science from ancient time up to present days. It discusses science problems occurring in the 19th century among chemists, agronomists, geologists and biologists. The author expounds the soil's evolution version between “primitive” volcanic formations and present-day chernozen and podzol soils. Emphasis is on the role of flora and fauna and on the activities of microorganisms which converted lifeless lands into fertile ploughed fields. Also discussed are issues dealing with melioration, chemization and cultivation of various land types. 1 Look Under Your Feet (in lieu of a preface) Today we often speak of saving the rivers and forests, pollution of air, lakes, seas and disappearance of the wild animals, every day we recall the word "ecology" and at the same time we hear rarely a word in defence of soil. Such an attitude to the fertile layer does not give rise to surprise: what is really the reason to be delighted with? What can happen with this layer? The author tried to give an answer to these two questions in this book. Moreover, the author wanted to tell and show people, having no resemblance to their tribes, who saw not only simple amorphous lumps of dirt on the shoulder of the road but a wonderful creation nature - one of its kingdoms. Then, the author had in mind another aim.

  • Monuments of the World Cultural Heritage in Russia - Challenges and Perspectives» and Annual Conference of the National Committee ICOMOS, Russia
    II International Scientific Symposium «Monuments of the World Cultural Heritage in Russia - challenges and perspectives» and Annual Conference of the National Committee ICOMOS, Russia ABSTRACTS 19-21 September 2018 Veliky Novgorod Putting a Stop to Losses, Managing the Present and the Future of the Cultural Heritage of Russia The bitter news of the fire that destroyed the wooden tent-roofed Church of the Assumption in Kondopoga, the Republic of Karelia has shocked all of us. It was a symbol of the spiritual and material power of the Russian people, a cultural monument of federal significance, an object of worship for thousands of people. Its beauty and sophistication, its unique image celebrated by poets and artists were fascinating. Numerous monographs both in Russia and abroad have been dedicated to it, for centuries it was passing down the generations the inimitable charm of the Russian North. This loss is irreversible, architectural monuments may not be cloned. It is imperative to put a stop to losing the masterpieces of the wooden architecture in which Russia used to be so rich. The VII Parliamentary Forum in June 2018 in Suzdal dedicated to this most fragile part of our cultural heritage has raised the issue of the necessity to ensure the safety of the cultural heritage object's that are located far from populated places, in the hard to access areas which was historically predetermined. Russia possesses a unique experience in protecting the objects of the national significance. Vandalizing priceless cultural masterpieces is a kind of terrorism which our country prevails. In our opinion, the state should adopt a comprehensive inter-agency program for protection of the cultural heritage of the Russian North, Siberia and Far East.
