Thoroughly redesigned and reinstalled, the 11,000-square-foot Halls feature about 5,000 specimens from 95 countries that tell the fascinating stories of how mineral diversity arose, the environments in which minerals form, how scientists classify them, and how humans have used them throughout history for personal adornment, tools, and technology. Exhibits feature new specimens and familiar treasures—including two amethyst geodes which, at 12 and 9 feet tall, are among the world’s largest on public display, a 3,000-pound block of iridescent green and blue labradorite, the legendary 563-carat Star of India sapphire, and the 632-carat Patricia Emerald.
