Stones and minerals from museuns

[Arkteia]

So I wanted to start it. I know many have made posts, but I thought maybe people would post in one thread? We have so many members from outside the US. So many museums! I want this thread so badly! Especially from the museums I haven’t seen. So this is Houston Museum of Natural Science

I would like a list of all the museums or exhibitions with jewelery and gems so that I can travel to see the jewelery I recently received some photos of the Crown Jewels at the Louvre.

I have a ton of photos from the museum of natural history in Washington DC if you want me to post them. Although I’m sure they’ve been posted before...If it’s a yes, colored gemstones or mineral specimens?

From the Museum of Natural History in Washington DC:
One of my favorites - aquamarine that took my breath away...and several others. Second to last is a 420+ct morganite.

How about a green diamond? The exhibit just left the MET and included the Dresden Green Diamond.

The Aurora Collection (Aurora Pyramid of Hope) at the Natural History Museum in London. Natural coloured diamonds with fluorescence ❤ My pictures don't do it justice, worth googling for better images and videos
