}}Kentbrooksite is a moderately rare mineral of the eudialyte group,[1] with formula (Na,REE)15(Ca,REE)6Mn3Zr3NbSi[(Si9O27)2(Si3O9)2O2]F2·2H2O.[2] This extended formula shows the presence of cyclic silicate groups and dominance of Si at the M4 site, according to the nomenclature of the eudialyte group.[3] The characteristic features of kentbrooksite, that make it different from eudialyte are: (1) dominancy of fluorine (the only currently known example among the whole group[1]), (2) dominancy of manganese, and (3) dominancy of niobium. Trace hafnium and magnesium are also reported.[2] Kentbrooksite is relatively common when compared to most other species of the group.[1]

Occurrence

Kentbrooksite was found in alkaline pegmatites within pulaskites of the Kangerdlugssuaq intrusion in East Greenland.[2]

Notes on chemistry

Rare earth elements (REE) in kentbrooksite are dominated by cerium and yttrium. Potassium, strontium, iron, aluminium, titanium, magnesium are present as other admixtures. An important fraction of fluorine is substituted by chlorine and hydroxyl groups.
