View on black please!
To tell you the truth, I wasn't too enamoured with Moscow. This may have been partly due to the weather being grey for nearly the entire time. Another problem was the fact that you have to queue for hours for everything remotely touristy. And then discover it's not actually that good. Thankfully, one of the best things about the city is almost free and you don't need to queue; the metro system.
This is Mayakovskaya, an art-deco / futurism station on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line of the Moscow Metro. Myself and Mike Murphy had gotten up at around 05:00 and walked to this station for opening time, just so we could have a chance to take some photos with no people in them. It ended up being reasonably busy at this time, but we managed to get by. This was our first station of the day and we continued with about another six before heading topside for some overly-expensive breakfast and unreliable wifi.
Check out Mike's take on this photo.
No images in comments please.

This is my photo of the rhodochrosite gem that I twirled in next photo. Photo was made in the gem room of the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, Dallas, TX.
Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral with chemical composition MnCO3. In its (rare) pure form, it is typically a rose-red color, but impure specimens can be shades of pink to pale brown. It streaks white, and its Mohs hardness varies between 3.5 and 4. Its specific gravity is between 3.5 and 3.7. It crystallizes in the trigonal system, and cleaves with rhombohedral carbonate cleavage in three directions. Crystal twinning often is present. It is transparent to translucent with refractive indices of nω=1.814 to 1.816, nε=1.596 to 1.598. It is often confused with the manganese silicate, rhodonite, but is distinctly softer.
Rhodochrosite forms a complete solid solution series with iron carbonate (siderite). Calcium, (as well as magnesium and zinc, to a limited extent) frequently substitutes for manganese in the structure, leading to lighter shades of red and pink, depending on the degree of substitution. It is for this reason that the most common color encountered is pink.
Rhodochrosite occurs as a hydrothermal vein mineral along with other manganese minerals in low temperature ore deposits as in the silver mines of Romania where it was first found. Banded rhodochrosite is mined in Capillitas, Argentina.
It was first described in 1813 in reference to a sample from Cavnic, Maramureş, present-day Romania. According to Dimitrescu and Radulescu, 1966 and to Papp, 1997, this mineral was described for the first time in Sacaramb, Romania, not in Cavnic, Romania. Wikipedia.
Sign states “Southern Icon Case. A frame for the most venerated icons. The southern icon case was made by artisans from the Kolyvankaya Polishing and Yekaterinburg Stone Cutting factories. It is made of pink rhodonite, Korgon porphyry, and Revnev, Orsk, and Aushkul jasper. The ‘Resurrection of Christ’ mosaic was made from a sketch by M. Nesterov in the Mosaic Department of the Academy of Arts.’”

Mosaics cover the interior of the church - the walls , ceiling and floor .
Beautiful .
The interior is magnificent. Almost everything is mosaic: icons, pictures, walls, columns and arches, ceilings, floors, even the cupola. Stonework is composed of rich and many-hued marble, jasper, rhodonite and porphyry. The church is light and airy, the people quiet and subdued.
The structure is a romantic impression of late eighteenth-century Russian church architecture, the exterior at least. The brick walls are busy, ornamented with carved marble arches, short columns, an elaborate cornice of brick and marble, mosaic representations of saints and a great variety of images. Cupolas are roofed with blue, lime, yellow, and white tiles.
I did a drawing earlier in the evening; I had forgotten my paints. I got home with some light left in the sky so I quickly got my stuff together and painted this.
The two new Daniel Smith paints were for my fall palette but I couldn't resist filling up my pans with them.

INTERESTING INFORMATION ABOUT YELLOW
Yellow is psychologically the happiest color in the color spectrum.
In medical terms, a yellow flag indicates a quarantine.
Yellow Stones: Amber, Calcite, Cat’s Eye, Citrine, Fluorite, Golden Beryl, Golden Yellow Topaz, Golden Tiger Eye, Iron Pyrite, Lemon Chrysoprase, Yellow Celestite, Yellow Danburite, Yellow Garnet, Yellow Jade, Yellow Jasper, Yellow Kunzite, Yellow Muscovite, Yellow Rhodonite, Yellow Sapphire, Yellow Tourmaline.
The comic book character Green Lantern was afraid of the color yellow.
Yellow is the color that means “elevated” in the color-coded threat system established by presidential order in March 2002. This system quickly informs law enforcement agencies when intelligence indicates a change in the terrorist threat facing the United States.
75% of the pencils sold in the United States are painted yellow. Find out why…

The last of the Sunday foursome. This is a big boy, made from a square-ish, uneven slablet that had been laying around. It is almost 1cm this with a 3mm girdle!
This is a rock, since it is a melange of different minerals
The pink is Rhodonite (MnSiO3)
The black is manganese oxide (MnO)
The white is likely wollastonite (CaSi03)
The gray and brown are probably bustamite (a mix of rhodonite and calcium oxide)

Displayed on a slab of silver lace “onyx.”
Unfortunately, the remaining 14 icons that have filled the niches of the kiotas were not preserved. These icons, donated to the cathedral during the construction, were not mosaic. Their salaries were made of silver, decorated with enamel, gilding and pearls. Icons were seized in the 1920s. and their fate today, unfortunately, is not known. While these niches are empty.
Kyots are examples of the beautiful work of Russian stone-cutters in the Ekaterinburg Lapidary and Kolyvan grinding factories. The choice of stones from which the cuots were created is not accidental. The same stones - green revnevsky jasper and pink rhodonite - were used to create tombstones over the tombs of Emperor Alexander II and his wife Maria Alexandrovna in the Peter and Paul Cathedral.
To decorate the kiotas, jasper and other varieties were used - the pale Aushkulskaya - for the cross and openwork ornament at the top, bright variegated Orsk jasper - for patterned columns and plates in the center of the kyot. Completed with the highest skill patterns the kiots are connected with the mosaic ornaments of the temple.
Kyots are made of the beautiful Ural rhodonite (orlets), Korgon porphyry, Revnevskaya, Orsk and Aushkul jasper - a real collection of domestic colored ornamental stone.
In the right southern Kyot - the icon of the Resurrection of Christ, also according to the original MV Nesterov. On this icon, the Lord is depicted as resurrected, emerging from the coffin in a light robes, in one hand. The cross is a symbol of the suffering of the cross, the other is raised in a blessing gesture.
Above the tomb is the inscription: "Where are You, sting of death, where are You, victory of the hell ". An icon was created according to the sketch of Mikhail Nesterov and is a western version of the iconography of the Resurrection of Christ, which came to Russia from Europe in the 17th century. Like the image of St. Prince Alexander Nevsky, she was performed in the mosaic workshop of the Academy of Arts "direct" way of recruiting. Its gentle light colors, shake with exquisite tonal transitions, create a complete impression of imitation of oil painting and are consonant with the style of Art Nouveau.
Rhodonite with minor Franklinite. Rhodonite in manganese iron magnesium silicate. Frankilin Mining District. Franklin, Sussex Co., New Jersey.
Rediscovered when sorting my stuff. This cab was partially completed in an old collection I bought several years ago. I finished it off a while back, and lost track of it.
In my personal collection since 1965. Obtained from Ewald Gerstman, mineral dealer in Franklin, NJ. Small cabinet specimen.
Most gemstones are minerals and are cut from naturally occurring crystals. To qualify as a gem, the specimen should be hard and tough to resist scratching and have beautiful clarity, colour or 'fire'. Value is based on rarity and rare quality.
Most gems are coloured by a limited number of metals present either as impurities or as essential constituents of the atomic structure.
The most common minerals affecting colour are; chromium, iron, manganese, titanium and copper.
It is chromium which produces the intense red of ruby and the brilliant green of emerald. In garnet, spinel, sapphire, peridot and chrysoberyl it is iron that is responsible for the more subtle red, blue and yellow colours. The best sapphires are coloured by both titanium and iron whilst copper is responsible for the blue and green of turquoise and malachite, and manganese the pink of rhodonite.
The most important coloured stone localities in the world are the Mogok area of Burma, Sri Lanka, Brazil, the Malagasy Republic Madagascar, and, more recently, East Africa. Each of these areas produces a number of different gemstones in significant quantities.
Although coloured gemstones –such as emeralds, rubies, and sapphires- have been mined since ancient times, they are non-renewable resources and their supply from geological deposits is finite. However, unlike many other resources, they are extremely durable.
Gemstones are mined in a wide range of geological contexts. Finding and extracting them is a challenging feat and often unprofitable due to geological and engineering difficulties that are encountered in the exploration and extraction stages. A ruby of 5 grams (25 carats) can be worth several hundred thousand dollars, or practically nothing. This sets coloured gemstones apart from many other resources. Unlike gold or coffee, there are no commodity or listed prices for coloured gemstones.
Coloured gemstones can also be found in river gravels, and methods similar to the panning of gold are used to collect them.
