Review & FAQ:
The Mineral Museum is another one of James Madison University’s many wonders for people to come and gain knowledge about the world. It houses more than 600 gemstone and crystal specimens acquired from every corner of the globe. Every specimen is neatly classified and displayed with many types of data, including where the specimen was found, the crystal system classification, the elemental formula, and where that type of mineral can be found in the world, among other great facts about each specimen. The specimens are arranged by chemistry in the systematic collection, by locality in the Virginia minerals collection, and by fluorescence in the Fluorescent Mineral Display.
