Material and form
The organisation mentions rough and polished minerals and crystal clusters. This offers a direct comparison between natural form and working. The explanations help with identification and provenance.
A closer look at fossils
Fossil fish, teeth and amber with insects are mentioned in the range. Ask about the selection on view; a description of the range does not guarantee that every specimen is there.
From stone to jewellery
Silver jewellery with gemstones is also part of the range. This lets you look at the same material from the point of view of geology and of design, without confusing the two kinds of explanation.
Before you go
Free admission, according to the organisation. Summer and winter have different opening days; the venue’s own car park closes at 17:00.
