N2 - © 2015 by Walter de Gruyter Berlin/Boston.Yusupovite, ideally Na2Zr(Si6O15)(H2O)3, is a new silicate mineral from the Darai-Pioz alkaline massif in the upper reaches of the Darai-Pioz river, area of the joint Turkestansky, Zeravshansky, and Alaisky ridges, Tajikistan. Yusupovite was found in a pegmatite composed mainly of reedmergnerite, aegirine, microcline, and polylithionite. It occurs as prismatic grains about 2 mm in size embedded in reedmergnerite; associated minerals are quartz, pectolite, zeravshanite, mendeleevite-(Ce), fluorite, leucosphenite, a pyrochlore-group mineral, neptunite, telyushenkoite, moskvinite-(Y), and shibkovite. Yusupovite is colorless, transparent with a white streak, has a vitreous luster, and does not fluoresce under ultraviolet light. Cleavage is perfect on {110}, parting was not observed. Mohs hardness is 5. Yusupovite is brittle with a splintery fracture. The measured and calculated densities are 2.69(2) and 2.713 g/cm
