We were recently honored to have one of our specimens selected by the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) for their international traveling mineral exhibit. This ruby crystal was the one they chose:
2,167 carat sharp blood red ruby crystal - India
In the past, other museums have chosen specimens from our website for their collections (including the Harvard Mineral Museum, The Vermont Museum of Mining and Minerals, the Connecticut Mining and Minerals Museum, as well as museums at a number of fine colleges and universities). For me this was a special accolade, because I grew up drooling on the cases full of crystals at the AMNH.
