Hvorfor det er turen værd
The halls are organised by formation environment rather than by beauty, which is the clearest public explanation of why particular gems come from particular geological settings.
Inden du tager afsted
The museum states the halls are included with any admission. A slab from the Sterling Hill mine in New Jersey is displayed here to show fluorescence under long-wave and short-wave ultraviolet light.
