Very rare arctite with podlesnoiet in natrolite/albite.
The rare mineral arctite (Na₂Ca₄(PO₄)₃F) which fluoresces bright bluish white under LW lighting Normally it occurs as small grains. In this recent find, the crystals are much larger in the specimens found!
Photo 1: Long wave/UV 365 nm (arctite is blue)

Accompanying text translated:
"They found (2026) a narrow vein measuring 1 by 1 meter. Arctite usually occurs in small grains measuring a few millimeters in size. The amount of arctite that a gold prospector can extract is the same. Podlesnoiet and arctite are possibly the only minerals of this type on Earth. Arctite occurs only in the Khibiny Mountains and nowhere else in the world. The remaining part of the vein collapsed after the explosions and was subjected to apatite ore mining."
Guaranteed that no one else is offering this at the moment. Difficult to obtain, directly from Russia, and this was the last material...
