Aushkul Lake and mountain in the Urals, famed for its jasper, vases of which decorate the Hermitage staircase. The plate comes from Sir Roderick Impey's important monograph, 'The Geology of Russia in Europe and the Ural Mountains', the result of an expedition he made accompanied by Édouard de Verneuil (1805-73) and Count Alexander von Keyserling (1815-91). The expedition led to him describing the Permian geologic period, named after the Perm region of Russia, the last period of the Paleozoic era.
