Figure 1
Euhedral ^CNa analogue of turkestanite (Na-Tkt) in matrix including apatite (Ap) and alkali feldspar (Pl) (a). It was later extracted using FIB for SCXRD analysis (a). The final stage of the crystal separation procedure (b). The area around and below the crystal was cut using FIB. The crystal was attached to the carbon fibre with SEM-compatible glue. The crystal holder was specifically designed to be compatible with the subsequent SCXRD experiment.
