Today I will open a group of two three posts dedicated to Russia stamps.... I have many , all very common, and I need to classify some of them from the 60's and 70's ... The stamps I have today are all from 1963.. 

1963 "Ural Mountains Gems" (6) [Perf 12] [Des (N.Kruglov)] [Litho] Sc(2825,...,2828)

Let us start with a series that is dedicated to minerals.. it is one of the most appreciated topics for collectors.. every country in a part of it's Philatelic history has one series about the minerals that inhabit underground soil ; 
I know the 6k stamp is totally damaged , but it will stay until I have another..

some of these Ural Mountain Landscapes would give Excellent stamps..!!
