Eudialyte-group minerals (EGMs) are typical accessory or rock-forming minerals of the Lovozero peralkaline massif (Kola Peninsula, Russia). The EGM grains in the rocks of the massif are often replaced by an association of various secondary minerals such as lovozerite and wöhlerite group minerals, as...
