Abstract
Regarding the petrography in the vicinity of the gold deposits of the Tsarevo-Alexandrovskaya distance of Miasskaya Dacha, which became famous particularly due to the discovery of the largest Russian gold nugget (2 poods 7 funts 92 zolotniks), the information available in the literature is very scarce; for the most part, it consists only of brief mentions. A geological map of this area, quite schematic, is provided in the article by mining engineer Kulibin. The rock formations are highlighted on it, but without their description. In it, the author mainly lists the gold-bearing veins known at that time and dwells on certain nuggets.
