Narsarsukite is a rare silicate of sodium and titanium found only in alkaline rock masses, mainly nepheline syenites and carbonatites, associated with other sodium silicates such as aegyrine, nepheline or sodalite (environments deficient in silica). It owes its name to its locality of discovery, Narssarssuaq near Julianehaab in Greenland. It is a rare mineral, forming tabular to prismatic crystals of varying color, with a predominance of yellow-brown and dark green, although it may appear unusually colorless or white. It is a rare mineral that has no particular use and is little known to mineral collectors.
