Abstract: The article presents information on several new mineral names. They include ardennite-(V) found in a specimen of piemontite-bearing mica schist and occurs only in one thin quartzitic layer in the studied specimens. Georgbarsanovite came from boulders of nepheline-feldspar pegmatite in the upper reaches of the Petreliusa River valley, Khibiny alkaline massif, Kola Peninsula, Russia. The mineral consists of 1-2 centimeter thick branching veinlets in the brown eudialyte. Jadaite is a lithium sodium borosilicate mineral discovered in Jadar Basin, Serbia.
