| Thanks, Gail, for this photo tour. Did you happen to note the locality for the huge beryl crystal sitting on the floor (DSC02846.jpg)? I'm wondering if it's from the Bumpus Mine here in Maine.

Thank you Gail
I visited the museum many many years ago and was disappointed - yes many nice things but I disliked the displays, lighting and labelling. Looks like it has been completely overhauled - now looks great.
If I get back over there I'll have to pay a visit.
Looks like they now have the right people looking after the displays. Well presented, well lit, and well labelled.
Thank you so much for posting, really appreciated, especially when the exhibits are so far away.
Cheers
Keith

I am delighted that you are all seeing the great displays there, thank you for your notes.
This group of photos was taken a few days later, when I had friends join me, we were hosted by Jeff and Mike.

| This is my dear friend, Karen. She fell in love with minerals at our home so thought she might enjoy a back room tour at the Smithsonian. |
