The “Stone Rainbow” Geologic Exhibition

The "Stone Rainbow" Geologic Exhibition

 The “Stone Rainbow” room accommodates a permanent exhibition of nearly 1000 samples of minerals (precious and semi-precious stones), rocks and fossils from flora and fauna.  It was created with donations by various institutions, Bulgarian scientists, geologists, collectors and citizens, and with financial support from Vratsa Municipality.

         The minerals, rocks and fossils have been arranged according to the principle of subdivision and classification.  Predominantly the samples are from Bulgaria, but there are also specimen from other countries in Europe, America, Asia and Africa.  Amongst the minerals on display are such that are yet unknown to the world and were discovered in the mining region of Vratsa.

          The whole concept of the exposition, the modern and attractive furnishing of the room and the rich illustrative materials are in keeping with the main goals of the exhibition – to demonstrate the marvelous creations of nature, to expand the knowledge of people, to provide aesthetic pleasure and delight.
