description:
From the early 1990s, a loose sharp gemmy crystal of axinite. Complete all around, typical of these very slight micro-damage present. This one still in good condition. The specimen comes with a previous label from the collection of Ray DeMark.

Puiva Mount, located in the Subpolar Urals near Saranpaul within Russia, is renowned globally for its extraordinary alpine-cleft mineral deposits formed through hydrothermal activity in metamorphic rocks. Prospecting and collecting in this remote region gained significant prominence in the late twentieth century, particularly during the 1990s, when miners and collectors extracted world-class specimens of axinite-fe. These exceptional mineral specimens feature razor-sharp, glassy, clove-brown blades prized by collectors worldwide for their clarity and large pocket formations.
