I previously posted a thread with publically available pics of some high end jewelry pieces at the Museum of Natural History. This time, I took pics of gemstones in the more general displays.
If you have never been to this museum, the first 2 rooms hold the Hope Diamond, and high end jewelry pieces and stones I previously posted about ([URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/museum-of-natural-history-dc.168110/']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/museum-of-natural-history-dc.168110/[/URL]). The focus is on diamonds (colored and white), sapphires, emeralds, and rubies. There is even a cat's eye chrysoberyl, but it is quite brown.
Once you go beyond the first 2 rooms, the gallery opens to large cased displays. I took pictures of the first ones on the left, and a display on the right that shows topazes.
Pictures coming...
