Abstract
The complex of sulfostannates from the Pravourmiyskoye greisen deposit in the Far East of Russia is discussed. The complex includes stannoidite, mawsonite, stannite, sakuraiite. The discovery and typomorphic features of ferrokësterite and kësterite are noted. Zwitter-tourmalinite metasomatic complexes accompanying the lithium-fluoric granites are distinguished by high ore fertility and lithochalcophilic specialization. They combine cassiterite, wolframite, sulfides (arsenopyrite, lollingite, chalcopyrite, bornite, sphalerite, pyrrhotine, bismuthinite, etc.) and sulfostannates with an admixture of In, Ag, Cd. It is proposed to use sulfostannates as minerals indicating large-scale formation of rare-metal-tin ore.
