Figure 5
Compositional relationships of the Ca-Na analogue of turkestanite (grey diamonds, this study) compared with type turkestanite (red hexagons; Pautov et al., 1997

), steacyite (grey hexagons; Perrault & Szymański, 1982

), and ekanite (blue hexagons; Anderson et al., 1961

) from the literature. Additional comparative data (yellow diamonds) include samples from the Morro Redondo Complex and Graciosa Province, Brazil (Vilalva & Vlach, 2010

), Ambohimirahavavy complex, Madagascar (Estrade et al., 2018

), Dara-i-Pioz (Kaneva et al., 2023

), Jelisyiski Massif, and other Central Asian localities (Vilalva & Vlach, 2010

), as well as experimental results (Budzyń et al., 2011
