This special issue of the Mineralogical Almanac contains a review of over 80 years of exploration history of the Subpolar Urals rock-crystal-bearing province, as well as data about the location of quartz deposits, their geology, main patterns of distribution, and stages of formation. The main focus is the mineralogy of numerous rock-crystal-bearing veins of the Subpolar Urals. Not only do they represent deposits and occurrences of valuable technical, piezo-optic, and jewelry raw materials, but they are also a source of fine and unique specimens of various minerals. The issue contains data about more than a hundred varieties of minerals, 45 of which had been discovered for the first time in these types of deposits.
