Ussingite, Vuonnemite, Sphalerite
7 x 4,5 x 3 cm
Lovozero Massive, Kola Peninsula, Russia
Probably from the Shkatulka pegmatite - to be confirmed. 
The purple material is the Ussingite; they yellow plate on the top is Vuonnemite, Sphalerite is seen as bright yellow grains in the Ussingite. The small black dots might be Steenstrupine-(Ce), that is much less common in the Kola intrusions than in Ilímaussaq. (Author: kakov)
