Aegirine
Aegirine is a member of the clinopyroxene group of inosilicate minerals. Arfvedsonite and Aegirine are monoclinic minerals and sodium minerals.
Agpaitic rock
An agpaitic rock is a peralkaline igneous rock, typically nepheline syenite or phonolite.
See Arfvedsonite and Agpaitic rock
Albite
Albite is a plagioclase feldspar mineral.
Amphibole
Amphibole is a group of inosilicate minerals, forming prism or needlelike crystals, composed of double chain tetrahedra, linked at the vertices and generally containing ions of iron and/or magnesium in their structures.
See Arfvedsonite and Amphibole
Batholith
A batholith is a large mass of intrusive igneous rock (also called plutonic rock), larger than in area, that forms from cooled magma deep in the Earth's crust.
See Arfvedsonite and Batholith
Canada
Canada is a country in North America.
Granite
Granite is a coarse-grained (phaneritic) intrusive igneous rock composed mostly of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase.
Greenland
Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat,; Grønland) is a North American island autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark.
See Arfvedsonite and Greenland
Hermann–Mauguin notation
In geometry, Hermann–Mauguin notation is used to represent the symmetry elements in point groups, plane groups and space groups.

Igneous intrusion
In geology, an igneous intrusion (or intrusive body or simply intrusion) is a body of intrusive igneous rock that forms by crystallization of magma slowly cooling below the surface of the Earth.

Ilimaussaq intrusive complex
The Ilimaussaq intrusive complex is a large alkalic layered intrusion located on the southwest coast of Greenland.

Mineral
In geology and mineralogy, a mineral or mineral species is, broadly speaking, a solid substance with a fairly well-defined chemical composition and a specific crystal structure that occurs naturally in pure form.
Monoclinic crystal system
In crystallography, the monoclinic crystal system is one of the seven crystal systems.

Mont Saint-Hilaire
Mont Saint-Hilaire (English: Mount Saint-Hilaire; Wigwômadenek, Wigwômadensizek;, Wigwômaden; see for other names) is a mountain, high, in the Montérégie region of southern Quebec.

Nepheline
Nepheline, also called nephelite, is a rock-forming mineral in the feldspathoid groupa silica-undersaturated aluminosilicate, Na3KAl4Si4O16, that occurs in intrusive and volcanic rocks with low silica, and in their associated pegmatites. Arfvedsonite and Nepheline are sodium minerals.
See Arfvedsonite and Nepheline
Nepheline syenite
Nepheline syenite is a holocrystalline plutonic rock that consists largely of nepheline and alkali feldspar.

Okanogan County, Washington
Okanogan County is a county located in the U.S. state of Washington along the Canada–U.S. border.
See Arfvedsonite and Okanogan County, Washington
Pegmatite
A pegmatite is an igneous rock showing a very coarse texture, with large interlocking crystals usually greater in size than and sometimes greater than.
See Arfvedsonite and Pegmatite
Quartz
Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silica (silicon dioxide).
Quebec
QuebecAccording to the Canadian government, Québec (with the acute accent) is the official name in Canadian French and Quebec (without the accent) is the province's official name in Canadian English is one of the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada.
Riebeckite
Riebeckite is a sodium-rich member of the amphibole group of silicate minerals, chemical formula Na2(Fe2+3Fe3+2)Si8O22(OH)2. Arfvedsonite and Riebeckite are amphibole group, magnesium minerals, minerals in space group 12, monoclinic minerals and sodium minerals.

Russia
Russia, or the Russian Federation, is a country spanning Eastern Europe and North Asia.
Silicate mineral
Silicate minerals are rock-forming minerals made up of silicate groups.

Sodium
Sodium is a chemical element; it has symbol Na (from Neo-Latin natrium) and atomic number 11.
Zektzerite
The mineral zektzerite is a member of the tuhualite group and was first found in 1966 by Seattle mineralogist Benjamin Bartlett "Bart" Cannon. Arfvedsonite and zektzerite are sodium minerals.
