Regional guide
Axinite from Puiva Mount, Russia
Puiva Mount is one of the great modern localities for axinite-(Fe), the iron-dominant member long sold under the older collector’s name “ferroaxinite.” The best Puiva crystals have the combination that makes axinite irresistible in a cabinet: wedge-like, razor-edged blades; glassy luster; deep clove-brown to smoky violet-brown color; and enough transparency that a backlit crystal can flash amber, burgundy, and tea-brown through the same face.
