Overview

This renovated gallery displays thousands of rare minerals and sparkling gemstones in both rough and cut examples, including a 1600-pound amethyst geode from Brazil. Visitors can touch rock and mineral specimens that date back to the beginning of our solar system. Uncover mysteries of our planet’s origins revealed in ancient meteorites and terrestrial rock containing some of the oldest minerals on Earth—zircon crystals that have survived intact for 4.3 billion years!
