"Ural Pantry" is a revised and supplemented edition of a book about a wonderful stone reserve in the South Urals (its former name is "By Ilmensky Reserve"). More than 200 years ago, people discovered this wonderful pantry. In its bowels, precisely on purpose, in order to give people an idea of ​ ​ the riches of the Earth, a huge number of different, including rare, minerals turned out to be nearby. The book tells about how over the years, travel scientists and prospectors penetrated the secrets of the Ural wealth; how carefully protected, how closely these minerals are now studied; about that big and exciting work going on in the reserve these days.
