Moissanit Crystals of marine-green and ink-blue moissanite extracted by me from heavy concentrates separated from rocks of quartz vein #699 on Puiva Mt. This vein is mined for ultra-pure quartz. For half-year of investigation and viewing more than 200 point probes (150-500 g) I met about 7-8 such crystals. Associating minerals in heavy concentrates were apatite, carbonates, brookite, ilmenite, galena, cerussite, muscovite. FOV is ~1.2x1 mm. Pavel M. Kartashov collection and photo. Copyright: Pavel M.
