Abstract
On the territory of Russia and, in particular, in the Urals, there are many deposits and mines that are now practically inaccessible for study. One of these is the Gologorsk chromite deposit, and the mine of the same name, created for the development of the deposit at the end of the 19th century (1864) and sunk in 1941. Gologorsk mine at the beginning of the 20th century was the largest and most equipped of all the chrome mines in the Urals. The mine accounted for about half of all chromite ore production in Russia, precisely at a time when the demand for chromite in the chemical industry was very high. In the collections of the Vernadsky State Geological Museum preserved two samples from this mine. This is almost solid chromite ore; the composition of the ore phase varies from aluminochromite to magnesiochromite. The results of studying the samples, as well as a brief history of the discovery and operation of this mine are presented in this article.
