Perovskite (M1464)

Opened in 1811, the Achmatovsk Mine one of the most famous skarn deposits of the Urals. For sure Perovskite is the reason for the status of the locality. The mineral was named by Gustav Rose in 1839 in honor of Count Lev Alekseevich Perovski (1792-1856), then in the Ministry of Regions, of St. Petersburg, Russia. This particular crystal shows complex faces result from a combination of (pseudo-) cubic and dodecahedral faces and repetitive twinning.  The luster is fantastic and the size is out-standing for the mineral.
