According to ITAR-TASS, Mineral Show opened in Yekaterinburg. This year over 170 exponents present their collections in Sverdlovsk State Palace of Handicrafts.

The special feature of the present Show is that it is the first time when rare collection gemstones from Europe, Africa and the USA are exhibited. Moreover, now the visitors have an opportunity to make a small jewellery themselves – special workshops will be organised with this purpose.
