metadata.value: The collection of the Mining Museum of the Mining University in St Petersburg contains a
  variety of minerals, ores and rocks from almost all corners of the globe. Mineralogical and
  petrographic collections collected by the outstanding Finnish scientist Nils Gustaf Nordenskiöld
  are always of particular interest. His petrographic collection, which was received by the
  museum in 1836 and 1841 from Finland, remained for a long time without due attention. The
  first collection was delivered to the Mining Museum from N. G. Nordenskiöld in 1836. Now
  there are 80 items in the petrographic collection of the Mining Museum (two items are missing):
  basically, these are minerals, various rocks, distributed by the places of finds — the provinces
  of the Grand Duchy of Finland. Some complexity of linking the sample to a specific place
  is due to the fact that it is difficult to make out the spelling of a particular locality on the label
  due to poor handwriting, as well as the use of Latin and Cyrillic letters in one word. Besides,
  in Finland, many localities still have equal Finnish and Swedish names. It is impossible to predict
  which option will be used for naming a particular place. There are slightly more than half
  of petrographic samples in the collection — 49 items, the rest (31 samples) are minerals and
  ores. It is actually a mixed, combined, author’s collection. The second petrographic collection
  from N. G. Nordenskiöld entered the museum in 1841. The research of the collection recorded
  as “Finnish marbles” including 23 items was carried out. The “marbles” were selected on a regional
  basis. Materials were taken for the manufacture of grinds in order to more thoroughly
  study their petrographic composition. As a result of the research of the grinds, it was not possible
  to unambiguously determine the “marble”. The collection identified: 10 items of marble,
  9 items of limestones, 2 items of sandstones. Single samples of dolomite and slate were also
  identified. The author concludes that the collections of N. G. Nordenskiöld, the father of Finnish
  mineralogy, the founder of the Finnish Scientific Society, head of the Mining Department,
  must be preserved in the Mining Museum in its entirety, “without fragmentation”.
