Figure 6 from Selivanova et al. (2024). The crystal structure of the Lovozero bortolanite: (a) the H layer: MH and AP polyhedra linked with Si2O7 groups; (b) the O layer: two columns extending along the c axis: one column of MO3 octahedra, the second of alternating polyhedra MO2 and MO1; (c) general view of the crystal structure, projection along the axis b.

Figure 1 from Sejkora et al (2024). Overall photo of symmetrical vein filling with abundant elongated native silver aggregates up to 6 cm in length in gangue formed by various types of carbonates – calcite, siderite, spherocobaltite, ankerite, kutnohorite, minrecordite and members of the dolomite–škáchaite series (catalogue number P1N 49.308, mineralogical collection of the National Museum Prague); vein B117, Brod deposit, the uranium and base-metal Příbram ore district (Czech Republic). The holotype of škáchaite was taken from a central part of the sample with bright pink carbonate aggregates.
