Geological map of the Ural Mountains- made out of minerals!On Wednesday, Jon, Olga, Marina, Artem and I went to the Mineral Museum that proudly displays the incredible wealth of minerals that exist in the Ural Mountain area. The Mineral Museum was a science teacher’s dream. (I am a science teacher for those of you who don’t know.) I frolicked through the rock displays like a kid in a candy shop. My favorite was Chariote. They wouldn’t let us take pics on the first floor, which was the best. There were more minerals on the second floor and a taxidermy animal display on the third floor with some great nature photography and woodcarvings.
