The main article of this issue by Ukranian mineralogist Alexander I. Tishchenko deals with the mineralogy of a remarkable mineral locality – Pervomaisky Quarry (Crimea, Ukraine), the mineralization of which is similar to that of the world famous Puna in India. In view of the 150th anniversary of Vladimir I. Vernadsky we publish a historical review by a group of authors from Vernadsky State Geological Museum devoted to Vernadsky’s activity in development of the Museum collection. An article by academician Nikolay P. Yushkin describes the historical mineral collection of Russian Tzarina – Alexandra Pavlovna Romanova – in Eötvös Museum of Natural History of Eötvös Loránd University (Budapest, Hungary). As usual, we also publish reports from mineralogical shows: Tucson, Moscow, Saint-Petersburg.
