Abstract. The article describes the finds of bornite, covellite, azurite and malachite minerals from four occurrences of Vaygach Island and the Yugra Peninsula: Mount Mednaya, Krasnoye, the area of Lake Tointo and the Amderma deposit, which have ornamental or collection value. Occurrences of ornamental and collection minerals are confined mainly to known ore deposits and occurrences. Manifestations of gemstone raw materials can be promising as objects for gemmotourism.

Keywords: bornite, covellite, azurite and malachite, manifestations of copper ores, semiprecious stone raw materials, semi-precious stones, collection material, Vaygach Island, Yugra Peninsula
