The Collection ranges from brilliant crystals to glittering fool's gold to mineralogical rarities and oddities as well as historical specimens from localities that are no longer accessible. The Museum is located in the Earth Sciences Building and groups of five or more are requested to call in advance to confirm accessibility. Tours are welcome and available by appointment. Hours of operation are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 8:30 am to 3:30 am.
