SUMMARY

Издание Федерального государственного бюджетного учреждения науки Минералогический музей им. А.Е. Ферсмана Российской академии наук (Минмузей РАН).

The journal includes a description of cristofsherferite- (Ce), a new mineral from the chevkinite group found in the Eifel volcanic region in Germany, niobokupletskite (the third find in the world) and minerals associated with it from the Matchinsky massif in Kyrgyzstan, a rare variety of native gold - porpecite from gold placers Ambositra region in Madagascar, fergusonite- (Y) and its alteration products from granite pegmatite veins of the Beregovoy Zenkovsky massif in the Urals, rare barium minerals (arctite, hanneshit, bussenite and phases close to it) from iyolite-urtites of the Poachvumchorr mountain of the Khibiny massif on Kolsky -ove. The mineralogy of the volcanic deposits Radka, Chelopech, Elshitsa (Bulgaria) and Lebedinoe (Central Aldan) is compared, as well as a synthesis of the literature and new data obtained on complex uranium oxides in uranium ores. The results of studying zonal diamond crystals from the Arkhangelsk tube (Russia) and new data on the phase composition in the central part of the Cu – Fe – S system are presented.
The section "Mineralogical museums and collections" describes the products of Tuvan stone-cutters in the collection of the Mineralogical Museum named after A.E. Fersman RAS, as well as the history of the creation and exposure of the Geological Museum. V.V. Ershov Moscow State Mining University. The section "Persons" describes the activities of Academician V.I. Vernadsky at the Mineralogical Museum of the Russian Academy of Sciences. “Mineralogical notes” are presented by articles by Ural authors about new finds of morion, aquamarine and amethyst in the Sanar granite massif (South Ural) in isonal crystals of sherlais from pegmatites of the Ilmensky mountains. "Discussions" contain a review of the work of V.I. Zhernakova “Emerald Mines of the Urals”, published in 2009, and an essay on fundamental and genetic mineralogy, which analyzes the experience of using detailed mineralogical studies to solve the problems of petrogenesis and ore genesis using the Khibiny massif as an example.

This journal is of interest for mineralogists, geochemists, geologists, staff of natural history museums, collectors, and rocks aficionados
