Vuonnemite from
Puerto de Santiago, Santiago del Teide, Tenerife, Santa Cruz de Tenerife Province, Canary Islands, Spain


Locality type:Outcrop
Classification
Species:Vuonnemite
Formula:Na11Ti4+Nb2(Si2O7)2(PO4)2O3(F,OH)
Comments:The paper doesn't inform about any analytical details that could confirm this identification.

The list of minerals is absolutely unbelievable and also impossible: numerous rare and ultra-rare species that are typical for completely different environments.

"Interesting": a lava flow that contains ultra-rare peralkaline/sodalitite pegmatites, LCT pegmatites, metamanganolites, and sedimentary vanadium deposits............. ?
