Khomyakovite is an exceedingly rare mineral of the eudialyte group, with formula . The original formula was extended to show the presence of both the cyclic silicate groups and M4-site silicon, according to the nomenclature of the eudialyte group. Some niobium substitutes for tungsten in khomyakovite. Khomyakovite is an iron-analogue of manganokhomyakovite, the second mineral being a bit more common. The two minerals are the only group representatives, beside taseqite, with species-defining strontium, although many other members display strontium diadochy. Khomyakovite is the third eudialyte-g

Khomyakovite is an exceedingly rare mineral of the eudialyte group, with formula . The original formula was extended to show the presence of both the cyclic silicate groups and M4-site silicon, according to the nomenclature of the eudialyte group. Some niobium substitutes for tungsten in khomyakovite. Khomyakovite is an iron-analogue of manganokhomyakovite, the second mineral being a bit more common. The two minerals are the only group representatives, beside taseqite, with species-defining strontium, although many other members display strontium diadochy. Khomyakovite is the third eudialyte-group mineral with essential tungsten (after johnsenite-(Ce) and manganokhomyakovite).
==Occurrence and association== Khomyakovite, manganokhomyakovite, johnsenite-(Ce) and oneillite are four eudialyte-group minerals with type locality in Mont Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, Canada. Khomyakovite itself is associated with analcime, annite, natrolite, titanite, calcite, and pyrite.
