Rock collections have also an important economic value. This elegant portfolio of ornamental stones, produced in the former Soviet Union, presents the various rock types quarried in the Ural mountains.
Collecting rocks and minerals has a long history. Collections were sometimes an obsession, sometimes an investment, a tool to teach geology, or just a leisure-time activity. The Italian collectors Renato and Adriana Pagano discovered such mineral and rock-collections from around the world as their passion.

Born fifty years ago, he was sent to school at Dresden; but at the age of fourteen he conceived ideas not to be bounded within the confines of the small life of a German principality. So he ran away from school to go to sea, and his aunt the Queen of England, being informed of the fact, proposed to her sister to let her adventurous nephew become naturalised as an Englishman and enter the English Navy. This was accordingly done, and Prince Victor, as he was then called, was appointed to the Powerful on the Mediterranean Station, in 1848. He served in the Crimean War and in the operations in China he proved a popular officer and a good sailor-man, and was three times wounded in battle. In 1861 he married the daughter of Admiral Sir George Seymour, sister of the fifth Marquis of Hertford on which occasion it was that he put down his title of Prince and took up for future use that of Count. He became, in due course a Vice-Admiral, and in the meantime he also became a sculptor. It is in the latter art that he now mainly busies himself, and he has created many pleasing busts of his royal relatives and some works of greater pretensions than family portraits.
