These pages are about two provinces in Russia's far east. Amur is the area just east of Transbaikal and Khabarovsk is a large portion of Russia's Pacific coast.

Arbarastakh is a carbonatite deposit on the Batomga block of the Aldan Shield.
Associated with these carbonatite intrusions are fenits. The deposit is located
along the upper levels of the Uchur river.

Dzhalinda is a well known locality because it gave it's name to Dzhalindite. It is a bit tricky to find Dzhalinda on the map. Encarta gives one such place on the border of Amur and Transbaikal, but that is not the correct one. Dzhalinda is located further southeast along the Amur river west of Birobadjan. South of a village called Pompeyevka. Dzhalinda is a hydrothermal deposit in upper Cretaceous rhyolite rock. It is most famous for it's rare indium mineralogy. It is part of the Khingan-Olonoi ore region.Most cassiterite here occurs as 'wood tin'.

Konder
(Kondor, Kondyor)
geology
Konder is located in the Aldan Shield. Konder is a large concentrical
intrusions. The center of this intrusions forms a dunite stock about 5.5km. This
dunite is surrounded by a partial rim of peridotite and further outside by a
koswite and biotite pyroxenite rim. The outer rim consists of diorite and
monzonite. In the outer part of the intrusion occur carbonatites, cut by alkali
pegmatite dikes.

Pereval'noe deposit
geology
Not to be confused with the better known Pereval marble quarry near
Slyudyanka. Perevalnoe is a hydrothermal tin deposit in the Komsomolsk ore zone.
The oldest rocks are Jurassic sandstones. These where partially covered by
volcanic sediments of the lower Cretaceous Kholdam group. These where in turn
covered by volcano sedimentary rocks of the Amut group (Upper Cretaceous). There
are some pre-ore diorite and gabbro diorite intrusions as well as post ore
basalts.
