Babkino quarry is situated 1.5km north-west from the former settlement Babkino (Russ. Бабкино), approx.55km west in straight line from Tura (75km along the river).
V.V.Levitsky:
The deposit of optical calcite was discovered by a fairly long open pit with two levels. Mining operations were stopped in 2002 at the initial stage of development of the deposit. The Babkino deposit of optical calcite is confined to the lower part of the Nidym Formation. Icelandic spar is localized at the boundary of pillow basalt with underlying flow of warped amygdaloidal basalt. Six promising and spar-bearing bodies (2–3 m each) are identified in the section, in which Icelandic spar, together with calcite, mordenite, chalcedony and quartz, forms large (up to 1 m), unevenly distributed nests and cavities.
