Topic: Lovozero


  
  Lovozero
Lovozero is a large intrusion on the Kola peninsula in NW Russia.
The age of the intrusion is about 350 mio years (Caledonian), it is closely related to the Grampian geosyncline in western Norway and thus connected to the alkaline localities of Scandinavia (see there).
At Lovozero, too, there are several mines, and two of these mines have become extremely famous for huge and complex pegmatite veins.

 The Mineralogical Record - Archived What's New Articles
This book is valuable indeed for emphasizing localities to the extent that it does.
For example, a chapter/table at the end entitled "The Richest Type Localities of the World" tells the reader exactly how many species have been discovered at Tsumeb, LÄngban, Franklin/Sterling Hill, Lovozero, Laurium, Freiberg, Crestmore, Bisbee, Vesuvius, Mont St.-Hilaire, etc., etc., and to what geological and geochemical type each of these famous deposits belongs.
An additional virtue is that there are hundreds of color photographs to enliven the book's central body, which consists of an encyclopedia-style, alphabetical presentation of all the species.

 Bartonite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Bartonite is always intergrown with Erdite, and only known from the type locality.
Erdite has also been identified from the Lovozero intrusion (Kola, Russia) and from Mt. St.-Hilaire (Quebec, Canada).
Bartonite and the ubiquitously intergrown Erdite are probably practical purposes stable in a normal household environment, but little data is available.
