LocalitiesDodo Mine, Saranpaul, Berezovo district, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Russia

For not having Axinite listed as a species for the Dodo Mine, it sure has a bunch of Axinite photographs.


Does anybody know if this is a valid species for the locality or are the photos misplaced?

Hi Bill,

It is more than likely that these photos are misplaced and that axinite is not a valid species for the locality. The Puiva deposit (Puiva Mount) produced all of the choice Russian Axinite specimens. I recall the MR issue that contained those two excellent articles by Evgeni Burlakov. - one on the Dodo, the other on the Puiva. Both are alpine cleft occurrences and both are fairly close to each other in the Sub Polar Urals. However, it is the Puiva Mount that is known for producing some of the the world's finest Axinite-(Fe) specimens and not the Dodo. From this MR issue, the Dodo did not produce any Axinite.
