Cassiterite crystals from the Atlyansk placers, Ural
Abstract
Crystal identification tables showed that five crystals of the mining museum N 110/1-4 and 110/8, which were stored as rutile, do not differ from cassiterite crystals. It is also known that these cassiterite crystals were formed from the Atlyan placers of the Southern Urals. When examining the Eremeevskaya collection of the mining museum, cassiterite was also discovered on a shelf from the Atlyan placers. Since no tin deposit has yet been discovered in the central regions of the USSR and the geological conditions in the Atlyan River district are favorable for the formation of cassiterite deposits, detailed prospecting work must be undertaken in this district.
