 Minerology of Illimaussaq
The final stages of magmatism are marked by the emplacement of arfvedsonite lujavrite and lujavrite extremely rich in villiaumite (NaF) and naujakasite.
Reaction textures at naujaite-lujavrite interfaces and the occurrence of hydrothermal veins with abundant analcime, aegirine or arfvedsonite record the expulsion of late-magmatic, relatively low-temperature fluids in the analcime stability field from the lujavrites.
In order to understand the compositional and intrinsic variability in the lujavrites and especially their fluids, new data on F-amphibole and other halogen-bearing minerals are combined with microthermometry results from fluid inclusions and geothermometry based on various amphibole-feldspar-nepheline equilibria.

Brandy and Justin of Minwreck have just moved to Tucson from California, and they bring to the web a certain distinct persona ("…between the species collector and you whacked-out hippies, somebody NEEDS some mizzonite…") which makes their site, as intended, fun to visit; but, make no mistake, the stock is highly sophisticated.
From a recent safari in Africa the dealership brought back numerous small specimens of villiaumite and tuperssuatsiaite from the Aris phonolite quarry south of Windhoek, Namibia.
The villiaumite specimens show clumps of subhedral crystals in laid-open cavities in miniature-size pieces of the same igneous matrix—but the villiaumite here is not maroon, as at Mont Ste.-Hilaire and on Russia's Kola Peninsula, but is bright orange, lustrous and transparent, cf.
