This means that there are no Cs beryls here, but there is alkali containing beryl. From the above message thread,"an email from Dr. Pezzotta and Rob Lavinsky from the 2012 finds in Deo Darrah... and
Pezzotta mentioned detecting the alkali metal elements Na and K, but not notable Cs in the
periphery of the crystals." The 2015 results debunk the vorobyevite claim but do not mention any other alkali metals. |

| ⓘ Hambergite Formula: Be2(BO3)(OH) |
| ⓘ Haüyne Formula: Na3Ca(Si3Al3)O12(SO4) Localities: Reported from at least 6 localities in this region. Habit: Large dodecahedra to several cm Colour: Dark blue , blue, dark green, light green Fluorescence: Orangey brown in long-wave UV light. Description: The blue haüyne has a cell edge of 9.08 A (Fernando Camera, priv. comm. 2013) and the green one 9.05 A (Fernando Camera, priv. comm. 2010). Both have similar modulated structures.
A few dozen specimens of green haüyne were recovered. Dudley Blauwet (2008) has photos of the material in situ. Fewer darker green haüynes later emerged.
PXRD at the Royal Ontario museum gave Lazurite-C with gypsum for the early green material (Malcolm Back, priv. comm. 2009). Fernando Camara (2010) found it has a cubic cell edge of 9.05 A and a 45 A modulated structure.
A Raman analysis at the University of Arizona gave both haüyne and lazurite for the blue hauyne.
The problem is that no natural sulfide-dominant lazurite has ever been observed. Such material can be synthesized but is unstable. All 'lazurite' specimens is actually sulfate-dominant haüyne. The specious argument to call some PXRD-analyse samples lazurite stems from the observation that sulfide is smaller than sulfate and so haüynes with small unit cells should have more sulfide, but there is never enough to be sulfide dominant. Furthemore, contents of impurity elements such a K influence the cell parameter. |

The nosean is exsolved from a 100 micron layer of clear sodalite. This exsolution has been observed in synthetic materials (Van Peteghen et al 1963).

| ⓘ Pollucite Formula: (Cs,Na)2(Al2Si4O12) · 2H2O |
| ⓘ Potassic-fluoro-richterite ? Formula: K(CaNa)Mg5(Si8O22)F2 Description: A Rob Lavisnky specimen from "Kokcha Valley". Work done on these amphoiboles indicates that they are K and F rich richterites, but generally not meeting the criteria for potassic-richterite, fluoro-richterite or ptassic-fluoro-richterite. This does not preclude the occurrence of potassic-fluoro-richterite at Sar-e Sang. References: |

| ⓘ Sapphirine Formula: Mg4(Mg3Al9)O4[Si3Al9O36] |
| ⓘ 'Scapolite' Localities: Pitwak Mine, Sar-e-Sang River, Sar-e-Sang, Kuran wa Munjan District, Badakhshan, Afghanistan Ladjuar Medam, Sar-e-Sang, Kuran wa Munjan District, Badakhshan, Afghanistan Sar-e-Sang, Kuran wa Munjan District, Badakhshan, Afghanistan Sar-e-Sang River, Sar-e-Sang, Kuran wa Munjan District, Badakhshan, Afghanistan Habit: Tetragonal Prisms , pyramidal faces, and pinacoid Colour: white grey, blue Fluorescence: bright yellow if any marialite left Description: Marialite is the only confirmed (PXRD) Scapolite from here. The surviving marialite is bright yellow under long wave UV. However, these scapolites are altering to Orthoclase which does not fluoresce. Some of these orthoclase pseudomorphs after scapolite are quite blue. Because this is from Sar-e-Sang, one immediately thinks this due to a blue feldspathoid. If this feldspathoid exists it is below the detection limits of PXRD and EDS. Apparently tiny Fe impurities can turn feldspar blue http://www.mindat.org/mesg-105-318134.html |
