Abstract
The pétrographie and mineralogical laboratory study of the rock samples and the analysis of the geological setting in the sites of their collection (South Afghanistan) allowed suggesting the presence of the carbonatite volcano there. This assumption has been proved: a young carbonatite volcano, the first one known for that moment in the Central Asia, has been discovered and investigated, as well as the minerals, associated with the volcano.
