Objective of the Work (hereinafter referred to as R&D): Creation and updating of a database of natural (semi-precious and decorative) stone resources in Ukraine. Research Method: Empirical-theoretical approach (petrographic analysis, information-analytical grouping based on chemical, mineralogical, and physical composition, assessment of stone suitability for various applications, 2-D scanning and photographing of stone samples, and description of the decorative qualities of stones). Background: As a result of the large-scale armed aggression by the Russian Federation, a significant portion of Ukraine's natural (semi-precious and decorative) stone deposits are now located in occupied territories or areas of active hostilities. This has substantially reduced the potential resources of decorative stones. The updated database of natural (semi-precious and decorative) stone resources from Ukrainian deposits will include revised information systematized in accordance with global market trends and modern European standards for natural stone quality. It will provide details such as deposit locations, physical, petrochemical, mineralogical, petrographic, coloristic, decorative, and identification characteristics of the stones, as well as digital macroscopic and microscopic images of stone products or raw material blocks. Novelty of the Results: The updated database will significantly improve the efficiency of conducting expert evaluations, enhance quality control, and facilitate management processes. This is critical for post-war reconstruction of housing and infrastructure in Ukraine, adhering to European quality standards. Application Area: Scientific and methodological support in the fields of extraction, processing, and quality control of natural (semi-precious and decorative) stones in raw materials and finished products.
