Calciojohillerite is a greenish to yellowish to almost colorless well-shaped, terminated crystals (about 1 mm) combined in clusters / crusts on basalt scoria altered by fumarolic gas. The specimen is very rich. It is one of the few study specimens from Igor Pekov's collection used to characterize the new mineral. It is not yet published but was approved in 2016.
A more detailed locality is: Arsenatnaya fumarole, Second scoria cone of the Northern Breakthrough of the Great Tolbachik Fissure Eruption, Tolbachik volcano, Kamchatka, Russia.

Calciomurmanite is Na-Ca ordered analogue of murmanite. Murmanite does not contain calcium, only Na, by strict definition. Otherwise, you cannot tell these two minerals apart visually. Calciomurmanite crystals occur as thin plates and somewhat micaceous. The cleavage surfaces have a mother of pearl luster. This specimen was verified by Dr. Igor Pekov and was part of his study to define the mineral for publication. It is an approved IMA mineral, although not yet published.
