The newspaper “Birobidzhanskaya Zvezda” (12+) in the section “In our region” tells its readers that construction of a factory of artistic products made of colored stone has begun in the village of Budukan, Obluchensky district. The enterprise will produce tens of thousands of Far Eastern souvenirs, ink sets, stands for table lamps and fountain pens, and 500 thousand pieces of marble facing tiles per year for palaces of culture, hotels, and residential buildings.
“Our region has long been famous for its rare natural stones. There is, for example, pink marble with veins, which is mined near the village of Birakan. This stone decorates the Belorusskaya station of the Moscow metro. Pink marble is now used for industrial processing by the Londokovsky lime plant. Several years ago, not far from the famous Far Eastern resort of Kuldur, geologists discovered marble of amazing colors – from light green to red blackness.
The art products factory, which is scheduled to be completed at the end of the five-year period, will use local pink and green marble.”
