The locality is well-known to mineralogists and collectors primary as a type locality for perovskite. Historical review by Nina A. Mokhova tells a story of Aleksandr V. Razderishin, famous Russian collector of 18th century. Tat’yana M. Pavlova and Elena A. Borisova describe a specimen from the early collections of the Fersman mineralogical museum.
