Semey, the former Semipalatinsk (until 2007), is situated in northeastern Kazakhstan, close to the Russian border.
From 1917–1920, the city was known as Alash-kala.
Note: the name "Semey" or "Semipalatinsk" is used in some mineral collections to indicate specimens from the May agate occurrence, located on the territory of the Semipalatinsk Test Site in the area known as The Experimental Field. This occurrence is sometimes also indicated as "Maldyr", or "Kurchatov".
