Beautiful stone in the Russian language picture of the world

The monograph is devoted to the current topic - the analysis of the nominations of the stone in terms of its beauty. The analyzed language material gives reason to assume that the beauty of natural stone is determined by the criteria: a natural form, a pattern, which often depends on inclusions. The color of the stone is the main visual characteristic, regardless of the origin of the stone.

The monograph is addressed to a wide range of readers, it can be interesting to philologists, graduate students, and teachers of humanitarian disciplines and teachers of philological and cultural specialties, as well as stone lovers
