Alnoite, named from the Island of Alnön in Sweden, is a lamprophyre chiefly composed of biotite or phlogopite and melilite as essential minerals, commonly with olivine, calcite and clinopyroxene. Perovskite, apatite, nepheline and garnet may also be present as accessory phases. A detailed
and in-depth synthesis of the geologic and mineralogic origins, occurrences, and petrotectonic associations of alnoite and related lithologies have been beautifully presented on
