Come for the gems and stay for the…gems. Truly an incredible collection of gems and minerals. Mesmerizing to walk through and look at the beautiful varieties. Excellent addition to the museum !
Check out the Newmont Azurite, discovered in 1952 and used by a miner to pay his bar tab! It is considered one of world’s finest mineral specimens.
5 Stars for the new Gemstone Exhibit ! An amazing collection of minerals & gemstones is housed here including a 13-foot tall Amethyst & a giant meteorite. Definitely worth navigating
You can't buy these gems, but if you ask a security guard he might loan you one.
Didn't think you were a Geo-nerd? Whoops, suddenly you're obsessed
It's beautiful
