Combeite is a rare silicate mineral with the formula Na2Ca2Si3O9. It has a trigonal crystal system. It was first described in 1957 for an occurrence in nephelinite lavas and tephra on Mt. Nyiragongo, Goma, Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo (then Zaïre).[2] It has also been reported from the Bellerberg volcano in Ettringen, Germany and the Oldoinyo Lengai volcano, Tanzania.[2] It was named for Arthur Delmar Combe of the Geological Survey of Uganda.[3][4
