Print This PageThe Story of Crystals
Did you ever wonder how crystals form? Why they are shaped geometrically and what they are made of? The Garvies Point Museum and Preserve answers those questions and more in its new exhibit about crystals.
The exhibit includes items used in everyday life, along with the minerals that are mined in order to produce them, as well as gemstones and jewelry with the natural mineral types from which they are made. A "mineral of the month" birthstone will be a regular feature of the exhibit. As part of the exhibit, museum geology curator George Alligaier has also assembled diagrams and photos of unique but lost geologic features throughout the U.S., such as Spirit Lake ( no longer in existence) at Mount St. Helens.
