From table salt to diamond rings and computer chips, minerals are part of our everyday existence. Hillman Hall of Minerals & Gems unleashes the spectacular beauty of the mineral world. A jewel box of lush colors, wondrous forms, and striking contrasts, the hall showcases more than 1,300 minerals and gems from all over the world. New acquisitions are added to the collection on an ongoing basis. This breathtaking exhibition hall is the culmination of the science, beauty, and history of minerals. | The Systematic Collection in the hall displays over 400 beautiful specimens divided into their chemical classification. Displays on quartz, calcite, pseudomorphism, twinning, mineral locality suites, and lithology (the science of rocks) add to the educational and visual experience. The nearly 100 stunning specimens on display in Masterpiece Gallery illustrate an underlying premise of the hall: "Minerals as Art." Our Collection Highlights case is dedicated as a "changing exhibit" to feature new acquisitions or an interesting theme in minerals.
