The very first book

A mineral similar to a book in origin is shale or argillite. White veins were formed when water washed minerals - quartz, mica - into the hardening clay that cracked from pressure. Round traces presumably remained from ammonites or iron-containing rocks. The village of Sukko, a slope near the coast of the mountain "Ekonomicheskaya". Anapa district. Dimensions 100-70-30 cm.
