Khavokiperskiye Rocks (Russ. Хавокиперские скалы) are located on the left, steep bank of the Nizhnyaya Tunguska River, about 55 km straight line distance west from Tura. Near (and between) the formerly villages of Babkino (Russ. Бабкино) and Ellun ( Russ. Эллун) on the opposite river side.
E.N.Koleśnikowa et all (2004):
Evenkite was found and first described by A.V.Skropyshev (1953). In one of the coastal deposits of the river Nizhnyaya Tunguska, at the contact of tuff-lava, he discovered a small ore body of polymetallic composition. The ore body had a vein-like shape; the thickness varies from 10 to 40 cm, the body could be traced for only 7 m; contacts with host rocks indistinct. The mineral composition of the ore body:
- ore minerals: pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite,
- non-metallic minerals: calcite, chalcedony, quartz.
All of the listed minerals cement a slightly crushed host rock, which is a amygdaloidal basalt, consisting of dark brown decomposed volcanic glass and thin plates of plagioclase. Pyrite is the main ore mineral. Non-metallic minerals fill the space between ore minerals. Calcite in the form of shapeless grains is located in close proximity to ore minerals. Chalcedony fills cracks that intersect both ore minerals and calcite. Chalcedony contains quartz geodes up to 3 cm in diameter. The walls of the geodes are covered with small crystals of transparent quartz, and in the geodes themselves, a mineral unusual for ore veins was found, which A.V.Skopishev (1953) suggested calling evenkite.
