A classic of popular science literature, Academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences A.E. Fersman invites you to see the planet through the eyes of a mineralogist—from crystals on a windowsill to diamond pipes, mines, and meteorites. This book covers the birth of stone, crystal growth, precious and industrial minerals, "stone in the service of man," field observations, and home experiments: you'll understand how to find, recognize, and wisely collect minerals.

- Where to look for minerals in nature, the city, and museums—and how to immediately distinguish them by key characteristics?
- Why do stones sparkle and come in different colors and shapes?
- Where do diamonds, quartz, salt, and marble come from—how do "gems" differ from industrial stones?
- What do meteorites, lavas, and sediments reveal about Earth's past?
- How to assemble and organize a collection, store samples, and grow your own crystals?

This book is suitable for schoolchildren and students, parents and teachers, hobby group leaders, young collectors, and all nature lovers. Its clear presentation, compelling examples, and logical field observations will transform curiosity into a lasting interest in the world of stone and provide practical tools for lessons, field trips, and home projects.
