Ca3(U6+0.5Zr1.5)[Fe3+O4]3
Colour:
Dark brown to black
Specific Gravity:
4.801 (Calculated)
Crystal System:
Isometric
Member of:
Bitikleite Group >Garnet Supergroup
Name:
First named Elbrusite-(Zr), but according to the new nomenclature of the garnet supergroup (Grew et al. 2013) suffixes should not be used in naming minerals in the garnet supergroup. The name was thus changed to Elbrusite.

Elbrusite is named after Mount Elbrus, the highest peak in Europe, in Northern Caucasus, Russia. The mineral was first found in the Elbrus-Kyugen volcanic area.
Type Locality:
ⓘXenolith no. 1, Lakargi Mountain, Upper Chegem volcanic caldera (Verkhnechegemskaya caldera), Chegemsky District, Kabardino-Balkaria, Russia
