Abstract. This work is performed in order to develop an algorithm for transforming the geological environment, which received environmental problems due to man-made load, to the geological environment as part of the noosphere, identifying the most attractive aesthetic aspect of existing or spent mineral deposits.
From the standpoint of ecological aesthetics, examples of the use of spent mineral deposits for socio-cultural human needs are considered. Developed and implemented environmental and aesthetic projects have different levels of recognition and scale – from the creation of museums in the workings of former mines, the conversion of former quarries into arenas for music – to the construction of five-star hotels in former building stone quarries. A combination of aesthetic, environmental and economic aspects for the sustainable development of such facilities is shown. Some complex mineral deposits of Ukraine are considered, where certain types of gemstone raw materials are found, in particular jaspilites at Kryvbas iron ore quartzite deposits. Some decorative and artistic characteristics of jaspilites, possibilities of their textures for creation of a mosaic and large-scale interior compositions as a whole, and also historical role of this stone for economy of the country are shown.
The proposed algorithm for transforming the geological environment for mineral deposits of Ukraine that contain resources of gemstones has three main vectors of sustainable development: aesthetic (preservation of geological heritage, attraction of waste as educational, scientific and tourist facilities, creation of museum exhibits of gemstones, etc.), ecological (restoration of agricultural land or damaged forest fund) and economic (receipt in the state budget by developing and adopting a state program of development in the field of extraction and circulation of gemstones, improving existing legislation, business development).
Keywords: geological environment, mineral deposits, gemstones, ecological aesthetics
