The interior of our planet and its surface are rich in a wide variety of stones and minerals. The names of many of them are probably familiar to you, these are diamond, ruby, amethyst, zircon, aquamarine, jasper, granite, onyx, amber... Our ancestors even created amazing legends about some stones. Among the minerals there is also a curiosity - this is a “fluffy” asbestos stone, from which you can sew a tablecloth. Or edible clay, which is considered a delicacy in different countries. And there are also alien stones that have flown to us from space.
Nina Orlova’s book “Precious Stones and Minerals” will tell you about the most interesting of them.
