Locality: Malosedel'nikovskoe deposit, Sedel'nikovo, Ekaterinburg (Sverdlovsk), Ekaterinburgskaya (Sverdlovskaya) Oblast', Middle Urals, Urals Region, Russia

This is mineralogicaly poor (only rhodonite, quartz and Mn oxides-hydroxydes) but very colourfull rhodonite skarn from Middle Ural - real orlets. This is one of the most early my specimens - I collect it in the middle of 70th. And it was the first specimen personally polyshed by me. Specimen size is 4x3.5x2 cm. Pavel M.
