She has long dreamed of a museum of precious and decorative stones. I wanted to see it and show it to my students to instill love for minerals and rocks, to show their importance in the development of the country's economy. In the spring, together with the students, we went on a trip to the Polissya region and the first plan was to visit the museum. Our impressions of what we saw were unsurpassed. We were delighted with what we saw and heard from the guide. And I really liked how warmly and hospitably we were greeted by museum staff.
