Crystal placers are relatively widespread on the eastern slope of the Southern Urals. However, even that very little literature, which is devoted to the problem of their genesis, refers only to placers formed by the destruction of crystal quartz veins. Moreover, some researchers categorically assert that only crystal quartz veins served as a source of demolition of clastic quartz material. But in the Southern Urals there are placers formed due to the destruction of crystal-quartz pegmatites.
