Por qué merece la pena hacer este viaje
Very large single crystals show the limits of what a deposit can produce, which is the physical reason exceptional sizes command the prices they do.
Antes de marcharse
The museum states that admission includes access to all permanent exhibit halls except certain special exhibitions and the Brown Hall of Entomology, and that admission to the permanent exhibits is free on Tuesday evenings from 5:00pm to 8:00pm. Check which selections are on show in the Hamill Gallery before travelling, as the main hall is closed for renovation.
