Nosean, also known as Noselite, is a mineral of the feldspathoid group with formula:Na Al
There is a solid solution between nosean and hauyne, which contains calcium.
It was first described in 1815 from th Rhineland in Germany and named after the German mineralogist K. Nose (1753-1835).

 ROCKS THAT PAUL WOULD HAVE LOVED: PETROLOGY OF HAUYNE PHONOLITES AND TRACHYTES FROM TAHITI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Nosean or haüyne phenocrysts, distinguished by Na/Ca ratios, are all sulfate-rich.
Minor Cl enrichment at nosean or haüyne rims, and discontinuous, apparently epitaxial, annular rims of end-member sodalite surrounding these crystals, indicate exhaustion of magmatic sulfate during feldspathoid phenocryst crystallization and a cessation of hauyne or nosean crystallization.
Abundance of sulfate in these rocks (in nosean and haüyne crystals), coupled with absence of any trace of sulfide minerals or any S in groundmass glass, indicates strong oxidation of magmatic sulfur and total depletion of sulfate in the melt during formation of feldspathoid phenocrysts.

 Elongated twins of sodalite and other isometric minerals Mineralogical Record - Find Articles
The twins are elongated because of the predominance of dodecahedron faces in these species, and the special geometric properties of a dodecahedron twinned about a three-fold [111] axis.
The sodalite family is composed of the minerals sodalite, nosean, hauyne and lazurite: cubic aluminosilicate species with the formula (Na,Ca)^sub 4^, Al^sub 6^Si^sub 6^O^sub 24^(SO^sub 4^,Cl,OH,S)^sub 1-2^*nH^sub 2^O. The members of The group are most frequently found in association with nepheline or leucite in nepheline syenites or phonolites and related undersaturated rocks.
The predominant crystal form for all four species is the dodecahedron, as illustrated by the nosean crystal on biotite in Figure 2 and the beautiful, blue hauyne crystal in Figure 3.

(2) Heterogeneous sövite-syenites with eutectic intergrowth of calcite, sanidine and nosean are either layered or unlayered and examples for the crystallisation from a mixed silicate-carbonatite melt with up to 60 % carbonate.
Compared to the phonolite phenocrysts, the composition of silicate minerals in the carbonatite-bearing rocks is different: plagioclase and sphene are absent while calcite, pyrochlore and orthite are present.
Sanidine and nosean of the carbonatite-bearing rocks have higher Na contents than the phonolite phenocrysts; biotite, clinopyroxene, and magnetite have higher Mn contents, apatite has higher REE contents.

 Lapis Lazuli   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Lapis Lazuli is part of the sodalite group and forms in the cubic crystal system.
It is a composite rock composed of lazurite, sodalite, hauyne and nosean, all part of the sodalite group.
The finest color for lapis is a deep blue, with no white spots (calcite) and a sprinkling of pyrite.

 Leucite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rounded shape of its crystals, their white or grey color, and rough cleavage, make the presence of leucite easily determinable in many of these rocks by simple inspection, especially when the crystals are large.
Leucite is very often accompanied by nepheline, sodalite or nosean; other minerals which make their appearance with some frequency are melanite, garnet and melilite.
Many of them also contain nepheline, sodalite, hauyne and nosean; the much rarer mineral melilite appears also in some examples.

Nosean, member of the Sodalite group, is a rather rare mineral at the Wannenköpfe.
Usually Nosean crystals are long prismatic twins, the top of the crystal lools a bit like the top of a drill (bohrkron, boorkopje).
ore more Nosean crystals together, this is quite unusual in the Eifel region.

 Piergorite
The most common mineral present has the characteristics of a light blue-grey Afghanite or another of the feldspar minerals.
Other minerals identified are: Biotite mica; pyrite (in weathered, iron oxide stained, pyritohedrons); Smoky Quartz; Uranpyrochlore; Danburite (?), Nosean; and Hydroxylapatite (approximately 1.5 cm away from the Piergorite).
To the left of these is a crystal of Nosean.

The group of minerals that sodalite belongs to is actually named after it.
Besides sodalite, other members of the sodalite group of minerals also include hauyne, lazurite, and nosean.
The word sodalite is derived from sodium, which is the main component of all of the minerals in the group.
