Pit No. 69 (G.I. Gasberg's Topaz-Cryolite Pit), Ilmen Natural Reserve, Ilmen Mts, Chelyabinsk Oblast', Southern Urals, Urals Region, Russia

Transparent glass-like greyish cryolithionite grains into white microcrystaline agregate of cryolite partialy replaced by secondary fluoraluminates. It is interesting, that cryolitionite had turn out the main fluoraluminate in the single "cryolite" body about 1 cubic metre size, mined on this locality in 1845. Cryolithionite grains in this body ...
