Cancrinite: Mineral information, data and localities.
For Count Egor Frantsevich Kankrin (Georg Cancrin) (16 November 1774 – 10 September 1845), Russian Minister of Finance.
Cancrinite Group. Also classed as a feldspathoid.
In the structure there are large channels closed by 12-membered tetrahedra rings. The channels are surrounded by cages set in columns. In the members of "cancrinite subgroup" the cages contain [Na(H2O)]+ clusters.
