Russian Samples of 18 Natural Semi precious stones
The only similar item I can find online describes this as a Memorial gift for high ranking officials and Soviet leaders in USSR -who visited the Ural mining company in the s in Communist Russia. It consists of 18 semi precious stones, all samples of Russian origin, on a black velvet background, as a presentation pack. There is an index of names in Russian and English. There is a reference number: , and some Russian letters which look like the English shapes of the letters: Tun. Y.P. 3ax The cover is blue flock on card, and has some scuffs. The logo is embossed gold, and is different than the one I can see online. They say only 200 were made, so I am guessing this is a very rare item, and of interest to any geologist / gemstone collector. I have a high asking price, as this is such a unique item - if you have any more information about this, I would be really interested to find out more, if only to amend my asking price!! Read More
