Abstract
List of minerals recognized by the International Mineralogical Association contents about 6000 mineral species and each year it is upsized by 50–60 new minerals. Russian scientists are also among the discoverers of these new species. The most perspective for the new mineral discovery on the Russian territory are the Khibiny Mountains and Lovozero Massif of the Kola Peninsula as well as Kamchatka volcanic region. This article reports on recent discovery of khrenovite Na3Fe23+(AsO4)3, a new arsenate member of alluaudite group from fumarole of Tolbachik volcano.
