In Villa Caro you will be able to admire the exhibition "Geology in beliefs and Art", also prepared by the Museum of Deposit Geology. It will include specimens of minerals and rocks that have been believed to have "magical" powers, such as belemnites ("devil's fingers", "lightning stones"), ammonites ("horns of the god of Amon", "snakes"), shark teeth, etc. It will also present very colourful minerals from which dyes used in painting are made (lapis lazuli, ochre, cinnabar, shungit).
