I recall when Fersman Museum started selling their extras in 1991, this was one of the most coveted of all rare species that came out the doors from their various expeditions. I got some directly at the time from curator Dmitriy Belakovskiy, who has himself been to this remote location on at least one expedition. I assume this specimen came form teh same source, the only source so far as I know. I have owned several over the years, and I can say this is a very good and rich specimen.

There are also a couple of tiny anatase crystals, on the same side, below the tsaregorodtsevites.
