Abstract
One of the most chemical and structural complicated mineral, zircon-silicate eudialyte, was discovered 200 years ago, however it is still an object of studies. This article reports about the Special Issue of the journal Minerals, which includes 13 articles on eudialyte crystal chemistry, mineralogy, and petrography. Moreover, recently the eudialyte group has been completed by a new mineral, the 31st member, selsurtite. Very substantial reports consider the eudialyte synthesis and new methods of mineral decomposition for extraction of some useful elements from its structure.
