A new Sn-rich garnet, toturite Ca3Sn2Fe2SiO12, occurs as an accessory mineral in high-temperature altered carbonate-silicate xenoliths in ignimbrite of the Upper Chegem structure in the Northern Caucasus, Kabardino-Balkaria, Russia. The empirical formula of toturite from the holotype sample is (Ca2.989Fe2+0.011) ∑3(Sn4+1.463Sb5+0.325Ti4+0.193Zr0.013Mg0.003Nb5+0.002Cr0.001) ∑2(Fe3+1.633Al0.609Si0.552Ti4+0.166Fe2+0.039V5+0.001) ∑3O12. The mineral forms thin regular growth zones and irregular spots in the Fe3+-dominant analog of kimzeyite. Toturite is cubic,
