Светлинский пегматитовый карьер, поселок Светлый

Weathered pegmatite body discovered by gold washers in 1932. It is located at 3.5 km NE of Svetlyi settlement. At different times the object was explored for piezo-optic quartz, kaoline, and gem stones, but resources of the deposit were not industrial. So up to now this locality is mined only by mineral collectors.
