Axinite with Byssolite and tremolite from Russia, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug
1

This specimen consists of a compact cluster of well-shaped Axinite crystals originating from an isolated mountainous area in the upper reaches of western Siberia. The crystals exhibit crisp, clearly defined faces and a strong, eye-pleasing shine with a bright, reflective luster. Transparency varies across the formation, shifting from lightly translucent sections to clearer, semi-transparent zones. The rich brown hues create a striking contrast against a delicate, light-toned mineral base made up of slender, fibrous amphibole-group strands.


The material formed within a tough, alpine-type geological environment situated in a remote subarctic terrain, characterized by extended cold seasons and brief periods of melt. The majority of recoveries from this region took place toward the end of the 1900s, although noteworthy pieces only entered global mineral circles long after their initial discovery. The site has earned legendary status among dedicated Axinite collectors, but high-grade specimens with this level of definition and brilliance are now rarely encountered.

The piece measures approximately 9.3 × 4.9 cm, offering a small but visually compelling display size.
