Kupletskite: K2Na(Mn,Fe++)7(Ti,Nb)2Si8O26(OH)4F Niobokupletskite: K2Na(Mn,Zn,Fe)7(Nb,Zr,Ti)2Si8O26(OH)4(O,F)
Comments: Back-scattered electron image of Niobokupletskite (Nkpt) rimming kupletskite (Kpt). The zoning in the kupletskite is from Nb-poor to Nb-rich in the direction of the arrow (dark to medium gray). (CanMin v 38, p 628). Location: Mont Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, Canada.
