The Gabrielyants state museum of geology of the Republic of Artsakh which is located in the city of Shushi has more than 500 samples of rocks and minerals from the region and from other places around the world.

Within the samples we can find 231 minerals, 187 rocks, 41 luminescent minerals, 2 Artificial Stones, among other samples. Also, we can find more than 400 books, 40 geological supplements, 16 photos, 10 oil paintings and 2 sculptures.

History

The Geological State Museum named after Professor G. A. Gabrielyants in the city of Shushi was officially opened in 2014. Professor G. A. Gabrielyants, creator of the museum, Armenian famous geologist, in 1989-91 He was the Minister of Geology of the USSR.

In the hall, on large bookshelves, there are presented both the author's books of the professor, which mainly relate to oil and gas geology, and thematic ones. on geology. On the contrary, the chronological table of the world is presented, which shows that life on the planet began about 4.5 billion years ago, and the first man appeared 1.5-2 million years ago (the Quaternary)

Geological history of Artsakh in the museum

According to the layout of the geological map of the territory of Artsakh, it is clear that our territory began to form about 200 million years ago (the Lower Jurassic period). It was a water area, and finally turned into dry land 100,000 years ago.

The fact that it was aquatic is proved by the fact that ammonites, sea urchins, and sea lilies, which were the same age as dinosaurs, lived on our territory. This ammonite was found in marble breccias on the territory of the village of Szniek. These mollusks lived 300 million years ago (145 million years ago in Artsakh), and disappeared with dinosaurs about 65 million years ago.

Artsakh minerals

A wall mount with racks and a light map found in the museum show the Artsakh minerals. Here you can see both non-metallic minerals and metallic minerals, on which accurate information can be provided both by Artsaj's relief design and by the rocks displayed on the shelves.

In the upper two rows of non-metallic minerals, which serve as raw materials for the chemical industry and construction. Here we can see both masonry stones and facing stones.

In the bottom row there are metallic minerals that serve as the main raw materials for the mining industry of the Republic of Armenia, from which non-ferrous, rare and precious metals can be obtained.

Stands

First stand

The exhibits of the first glass stand-aquarium are crystals of various sizes, colors and shades. Mostly presented are variations of quartz (rock crystal, piezoquartz, citrine, morion, rauchtopaz, amethyst, agate). Noteworthy blue stone, which is called azurite. This is a hydrated carbonate of copper, which is called “Armenian stone”.

Second stand

In the second stand, the fossil remains of the organic world and their prints are displayed. Here you can see the first animals of the planet: trilobites, which are 450 million years old, shark teeth, which are about 30 million years old. You can also see the remains of turella and sponges. There is a large variety of fossil remains in the territory of Artsakh. There are fossil skeletons of sea urchin and sea lily. Fossil print of this sea lily from France. The coral from the Red Sea and ammonites from the territory of the Republic of Armenia, as well as the imprint of this fossil fish, also deserve attention. On the reverse side of the sample, parallel to the first fish, another imprint of fish is imprinted. See, what a coincidence! Similar samples are rarely found.

Third stand

The third stand presents to visitors of the museum the Tungussky meteorite found in Siberia. And the sample formed as a result of the pressure caused by a strong impact after the fall of a hot meteorite is called tektite. The latter was formed on the border between China and Vietnam, as a result of a recorded meteorite fall. Beautiful is also a Jewish stone.

Fourth stand

In the fourth stand, scolecite, tourmaline and antimonite deserve attention. The latter, despite its poisonous properties, is still used by women in perfumery (antimony).

Fifth stand

In the fifth stand are mainly gems, which are used to prepare various decorations. In this stand you will see mainly jasper, agate, charoite, jade, cacholong, rhodonite, lapis lazuli, chrysoprase, labradorite, etc. The fulgurite presented in this stand is created when lightning strikes the basalt, which was first found on the Small Ararat.

Sixth stand

We called the sixth stand a jasper stand, because here are jaspers found and processed in the USA. Heliotrope and the breed, which is more than 1.2 billion years old, deserve special attention.

Seventh stand

In the seventh stand there are various types of garnets, including the carnelian found on the territory of the RA. Native copper, and especially, tree-like manganese oxide crystals.

Eighth stand

In the eighth booth, malachite, garnets, chalcanthite, fuchsite, chalcopyrite and pyrite are distinguished by their beauty. Agates, onyxes, quartz and aragonite crystals in the cavities of the walls and on the pedestals deserve special attention.

Other sections

Televisions

Televisions in the hall are provided for educational processes. The museum has at its disposal about 40 videos about various natural phenomena that are didactic material during lectures for schoolchildren.

Fluorescent room

Of particular interest is the fluorescent room, which we called the “magic world”.
